Two enterprising chemistry students decide to develop an alternative to Alka-Seltzer tablets, replacing the aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) with vitamin c (ascorbic acid). The following table shows one of the formulations they tried for a 5 g tablet.
ingredient | formula | Quantity (mg) |
---|---|---|
Sodium bicarbonate | NaHCO3 | 1991 |
citric acid | H3C6H5O7 | 886 |
vitamin c | HC6H7O6 | 370 |
inert binder | 1753 | |
TOTAL MASS: | 5000 |
When the tablet dissolves in water, it "frizzes" as the bicarbonate reacts with the citric acid and the vitamin C. What mass of NaHCO3 reacts with the vitamin C?
Citric acid is triprotic, and reacts with the base to form the citrate ino (C6H5O73-). Write the overall ionic reaction for the acidification of the NaHCO3 by the citric acid, giving CO2 as the product. Citric acid should be written as H3C6H5O7 in the net ionic equation, as weak acids are written in the molecular form even though they slightly ionize.
What mass of the NaHCO3 reacts with the citric acid?
What is the mass of CO2 released in this reaction?
THe remaining NaHCO3 is available to neautralize stomach acid. What mass of stomach HCL could be neutralized by one tablet?

A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.753 g of maleic acid (MW = 116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.259 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of 50.0 mL of the KOH solution. Maleic acid has pKa values of 1.92 and 6.27.
At this pH, calculate the concentration of each form of maleic acid in the solution at equilibrium. The three forms of maleic acid are abbreviated H2M, HM–, and M2–, which represent the fully protonated, intermediate, and fully deprotonated forms, respectively.

Identify which component of the equilibrium reaction was added↑ or removed↓ as a result of the applied stress.
CH3COOH (aq) + H2O(l) ⇆ H3O+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
after added methyl orange (as indicator), color change to reddish orange.
then we split into two test tube, one as reference, other one we have to add 5 drops of 2M (NaCH3COO)
Question:
1. Identify which component of the equilibrium reaction was added↑ or removed↓ as a result of the applied stress.
2. As a result of the shift, which reaction species changed, resulting in the observed color change?
Indicate whether it increased↑ or decreased↓.
3. Give the ion(s) present in the equilibrium mixture causing the observed color:
really need help!! let me know if need more info.
