Some of the causes of acid indigestion (excess HCl in the stomach), also known as heartburn, are heavy smoking, stress, and sedentary lifestyles. Patients take antacids, which usually contain alkali-based bicarbonate for rapid relief. Note: The antacids work by neutralizing the acid; viz. the reaction between HCO; and HCl. Part a) Student A suffers from heartburn and ingested 2 tablets of 1.53 g each of a certain Alka_seltzer antacid containing 45.4 percent by mass of bicarbonate (HCO3). Calculate the volume (in mL) of carbon dioxide produced at 35.3°C and 1.00 atm when the student ingested the tablets. Part b) Student B also suffers from heartburn, suppose the fluid inside his stomach is 177 mL HCI having a concentration of 0.0066 M. If the doctor prescribed one tablet of an Orzil seltzer antacid containing 49.3 percent by mass of NaHCO, to completely neutralize the heartburn. Calculate the mass (in gram) of the tablet ingested by the student B.
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.
