You just spilled 94.66 mL of 1.19 M sulfuric acid on your lab bench and need to clean it up immediately! Right next to you there is a small jar labeled “18 g sodium bicarbonate”.
Will this be enough sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the spilled sulfuric acid?
Enter Y or N
If no, how many more grams are required? If yes, how many extra grams do you have remaining?
H2SO4 + Na2CO3 = Na2SO4 + CO2 + H2O
MOLES OF H2SO4 = molarity * volume (in L)
= 1.19 * ( 94.66 * 10^-3 )
= 0.1126
moles of Na2CO3 = mass / molar mass
= 18 / 106
= 0.1698
mole ratio should be 1:1 but here amount of Na2CO3 is slightly more than H2SO4.
yes it more than enough to clean.
remaining moles of Na2CO3 = 0.1698 - 0.1126 = 0.0572
mass of Na2CO3 = moles * molar mass
= 0.0572 * 106
= 6.0632 grams
