Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and sodium chloride (NaCl). The balanced equation is NaHCO3 + HCl → CO2 + H2O + NaCl. The molar mass of NaHCO3 is approximately 84 g/mol. 6.00 kg of NaHCO3 is 6000 g, which is 6000 g / 84 g/mol = 71.43 mol. At 37.0 °C and 1.00 atm, using the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), where R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K, the volume of CO2 produced is approximately 1.82 × 10^3 L.
