Sodium bicarbonate gives solutions that are slightly alkaline (approximately pH 8.3), and similar solutions of sodium hydroxide (lye) are very basic with a pH around 12 or more. Lye will cause major damage, if not death, if swallowed, while sodium bicarbonate is a common antacid. Calculate the pH of a 0.27 M sodium carbonate solution.
