Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO,), also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid (HCI) , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO, neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H,O(1) + CO,(9) The CO, gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a man suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 150. mL of a 0.049 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO, would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

A student tries to determine experimentally the molar mass of aspirin (HAsp). She takes 1.00 g of aspirin, dissolves it in water, and neutralizes it with 17.6 mL of 0.315 M KOH. The equation for the reaction is HAsp(aq)+OH(aq)Asp(aq)+H2OWhat is the molar mass of aspirin?
Lead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?
A sample of solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is allowed to stand in water until a saturated solution is formed. A titration of 75.00 mL of this solution with 5.00102M HCl requires 36.6 mL of the acid to reach the end point. Ca(OH)2(aq)+2HCl(aq)CaCl2(aq)+2H2O(l) What is the molarity?
Use the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.
Hydrochloric acid. HCl, with a concentration of 0.100 M can be purchased from chemical supply houses, and this solution can be used to standardize the solution of a base. If titrating 25.00 mL of a sodium hydroxide solution to the equivalence point requires 29.67 mL of 0.100 M HCI, what is the concentration of the base?
On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?
A mountain lake that is 4.0 km × 6.0 km with an average depth of 75 m has an H+(aq) concentration of 1.3 × 10−6 M. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.
Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory as a primary standard. It has the formula KHC8H4O4. This is often written in the short-hand notation as KHP. If 25.0mL of a potassium hydroxide solution are needed to neutralize 2.26g of KHP, what is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide solution? Potassium hydrogen phthalate sometimes called potassium biphthalate, as shown on this bottle is an acid that is convenient to store and use because it is a solid.
Vitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?

Carminic acid, a naturally occurring red pigment extracted from the cochineal insect, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It was commonly used as a dye in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is 53.66% C and 4.09% H by mass. A titration required 18.02 mL of 0.0406 M NaOH to neutralize 0.3602 g carminic acid.
