Some sulfuric acid is spilled on a lab bench. You can neutralize the acid by sprinkling sodium bicarbonate on it and then mopping up the resultant solution. The sodium bicarbonate reacts with sulfuric acid as follows: 2 NaHCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2CO2(g) Sodium bicarbonate is added until the fizzing due to the formation of CO2(g) stops. If 27 mL of 6.0 M H2SO4 was spilled, what is the minimum mass of NaHCO3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid?

Question

6. Some sulfuric acid is spilled
on a lab bench. You can neutralize
the acid by sprinkling sodium
bicarbonate on it and then mopping
up the resultant solution. The sodium
bicarbonate reacts with sulfuric acid
as follows:
2 NaHCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq)
Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2CO2(g)
Sodium bicarbonate is added until the
fizzing due to the formation of CO2(g)
stops. If 27 mL of 6.0 M H2SO4 was
spilled, what is the minimum mass of
NaHCO3 that must be added to the
spill to neutralize the acid?
