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(@q) + NaHCO,(aq) → NiCl(aq) + H,O) + CO,(9) The CO, gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a woman suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 100. ml. of a 0.050 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO, would she need to ingest to neutralize this much HC1 ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. D.P alb A
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
