How many grams of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3- MW 84) should be used in preparing 50 mL of a solution containing 1 mEq of sodium ion per milliliter?
Please choose from answer below.
2.1 g
4.2 g
8.4g
42 g
94 g
1mEq per ml = 1Eq per liter = 1Normality
volume of solution = 50ml = 0.05L
E.wt of NaHCO3 = M.Wt/total positive charge
= 84/1 = 84 Eq
normality = W/G.E.Wt *volume of solution in L
1 = W/84 * 0.05
W = 84*0.05 = 4.2g
weight of NaHCO3 = 4.2g >>>>answer
