Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO,), also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid (HCI), which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO, neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq) + NaHCO;(aq) - NaCl(aq) + H,0(1) + CO,(g) The CO, gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a man suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 50. mL of a 0.076 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO, would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCI ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

What is the freezing point of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of 5.00% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass (d=1.006g/cm3)?
Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.
The reaction just described is reversible. Deprotonation of the conjugate acid of an organic base by water provides another example of simultaneous making and breaking of sigma bonds. Thus, in the deprotonation of anilinium ion by water, the base is water, which has unshared electrons on the ________ atom. The acid is ________ ion. A pair of ________ electrons on the oxygen atom of water is pushed toward the ________ atom. Simultaneously, the pair of ________ electrons between the hydrogen and ________ atom of the anilinium ion is pushed toward the ________ atom. Thus, the oxygen- ________ sigma bond is made and a hydrogen- ________ sigma bond is broken. The nitrogen atom, which possessed a positive charge, is now ________, and the oxygen atom, which was neutral, now possesses a formal ________ charge.

Consider the molecules PH, and PMe,. If these molecules were classified as Lewis bases and were to react with BH,, then: (a) The adduct formed with PH, would have the strongest B–P bond. (b) The adduct formed with PH, would have the longest B-P bond. (c) The adduct formed with PH, would have a double bond between P and B, B=P, because PH, is sterically unhindered. (d) The adduct formed with PMe, would have the strongest B-P bond. (e) The adduct formed with PMe, would have the weakest B-P bond because PMe, is very sterically hindered.

When carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water, it reacts with the water to form carbonic acid. This is why soft drinks have a low pH, and soda water is often recommended as a mild cleaning agent. It is also why there is concern that rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide may cause the Earth's oceans to become more acidic. Here is the reaction between carbon dioxide gas and water: H,0(1)+Co,() - H,CO, (aq) Suppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. He prepares four reaction vessels with 170.5 g of water and 26.2 g of carbon dioxide gas each. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below. Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on. initial rate of vessel volume temperature…
