Sodium Bicarbonate is used to neutrailze acids to form sodium chloride, a salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. Normally sodium bicarbonate is added until the fizzing ceases, at which point no more CO2(g) is produced.
NaHCO3(s) + HCL (aq) -> NaCl (aq) + CO2(g) +h2O (l)
If 100ml of 6 M HCL is spilled on a lab bench what is the minimum mass of sodium bicarbonate that must be used to neutralize the acid ?
Thank you !
