Question

The typical stomach has a volume of about 1 L, but can expand up to a volume of 4 L with a large meal.  After eating such a large meal, a common remedy for an upset stomach is to drink a sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) solution.  In the stomach, the sodium bicarbonate reacts with the hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) producing carbon dioxide according to the following equation:

NaHCO3 (aq)  +  HCl (aq) --> NaCl (aq)  +  H2O (l)  + CO2 (g)

The contents of your stomach typically has a hydrochloric acid concentration of 0.0300 M. The recommended dosage is 125 mL of a 0.225 M sodium bicarbonate solution.  What volume, in milliliters, of your stomach contents can be neutralized by the sodium bicarbonate?  (Record the answer to each step to solve to the problem below.)

Questions:

1. mol of NaHCO3 =?

2. mol of HCl =?

3. L of HCl =?

4. mL of HCl =?

Do NOT round answers #1-3.  #4 you should report your answer to the correct sig figs!
