a)Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydrogen carbonate (aka sodium bicarbonate).
b)How many milliliters of 0.225 M sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 12.0 mL of 0.20 M HCl? Refer to the equation you wrote above.
a. HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) ------------> NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
b. HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) ------------> NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
1 mole 1 mole
NaHCO3 HCl
M1 = 0.225M M2 = 0.2M
V1 = V2 = 12ml
n1 = 1 n2 = 1
M1V1/n1 = M2V2/n2
V1 = M2V2n1/M1n2
= 0.2*12*1/0.225*1 = 10.6ml >>>>answer
