Be sure to answer all parts. sulfuric acid is commonly used as an electrolyte in car batteries. suppose you spill some on your garage floor. before cleaning it up, you wisely decide to neutralize it with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) from your kitchen. the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and sulfuric acid is na2co3(s) + h2so4(aq) → na2so4(aq) + 2co2(g) + 2h2o(l) you estimate that your acid spill contains about 5.1 mol h2so4. what mass of nahco3 do you need to neutralize the acid

856.8 g NaHCO₃

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is

Given the moles of H₂SO₄, we can calculate the needed moles of sodium bicarbonate:

Now with the molecular weight of NaHCO₃ we can calculate the required mass:

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
