Baking soda (NaHCO3) can be added to a fruit mix solution to create a carbonated drink. An example is the reaction between baking soda and citric acid below. C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 → Na3C6H5O7 + 3H2O + 3CO2

B. How many milliliters of a 0.8 M solution of citric acid would be needed to react with 15 grams of baking soda? Show your work.

74.4 ml

Explanation:

          C₆H₈O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(s) => Na₃C₆H₅O₃(aq + 3CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)

Given     15g = 15g/84g/mol = 0.1786mole Sodium Bicarbonate

From equation stoichiometry 3moles NaHCO₃ is needed for each mole citric acid or, moles of citric acid needed is 1/3 of moles sodium bicarbonate used.

Therefore, for complete reaction of 0.1786 mole NaHCO₃ one would need 1/3 of 0.1786 mole citric acid or 0.0595 mole H-citrate.

The question is now what volume of 0.8M H-citrate solution would contain 0.0595mole of the H-citrate? This can be determined from the equation defining molarity. That is => Molarity = moles solute / Liters of solution

=> Volume (Liters) = moles citric acid / Molarity of citric acid solution

=> Volume needed in liters = 0.0.0595 mole/0.80M = 0.0744 Liters or 74.4 ml

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
