Question

A student reacts a sample of Alka-Seltzer (the reactive ingredient is NaHCO3)
with hydrochloric acid and obtains the following data (note that the carbon
dioxide product that was evolved during the reaction was collected and
measured):
PCO2 = 656.7 torr VCO2 = 16.75 mL TCO2 = 27.0 C
What was the mass (in grams) of the NaHCO3 present in the original Alka-Seltzer
sample? (Useful constant: R = 0.08206 Latm/molK)
a) 0.0494 g
b) 0.0474 g
c) 0.0615 g
d) 0.0923 g
