Interpretation:
The milliliters of 1.6 M NaHCO3 that must be poured on the spill to react completely with 88 mL of 2.6 M H2SO4 is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Strong acids and strong bases are the substance that dissociates completely into its ions when dissolved in the solution. They dissociate completely in water to release H+ ions and OH− ions.
Weak acids and weak bases are the substance that does not dissociate completely into its ions when dissolved in the solution. They dissociate partially in water to release H+ ions and OH− ions.
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a weak base. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissociates completely into ions and the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) dissociates to some extent into ions. They both react to form sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and a water molecule.
The molecular equation for the acid-base reaction of sulfuric acid and sodium bicarbonate is:
H2SO4(aq)+2NaHCO3(aq)→Na2SO4(aq)+2H2O(l)+2CO2(g)
