Chapter 10, Problem 50E

Sodium carbonate can neutralize nitric acid by the reaction $2{\text{HNO}}_3+{\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}\to 2{\text{NaNO}}_{\text{3}}+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}+{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$. Is $135\text{g}$ of sodium carbonate enough to neutralize a solution that contains $188\text{g}$ of nitric acid? How many grams of carbon dixode will be released in the reaction?
