17. The reaction hydrochloric acid with sodium hydrogen
carbonate produces carbon dioxide gas as one product.
a) Write the equation for the reaction of these chemicals as
aqueous solutions. 500. mL of equimolar concentration of each
solution are combined in this reaction.
b) If 2.461 daL of carbon dioxide gas are produced at 32.81 ̊C
and 762.7 torr, constituting an 89.62% yield, what molarity of
sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was originally reacted,
presuming additive volumes?
