Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to produce sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide and water. If 1.64 L of 5.00 M H2SO4 is spilled and 1.15 kg NaHCO3 (MM=84.01 g/mol) is available to clean up the spill, is there enough sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the spilled sulfuric acid?  Yes, and there is precisely enough NaHCO3.  No, and there is about 20% less NaHCO3 than needed.  Yes, and there is about 20% more NaHCO3 than needed.  No, and there is about 10% less NaHCO3 than needed.  Yes, and there is about 10% more NaHCO3 than needed.
