The first step in the reaction of Alka–Seltzer with stomach acid consists of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reacting with one mole of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce one mole of carbonic acid (H2CO3), and one mole of sodium chloride (NaCl). Using this chemical stoichiometry, determine the number of moles of carbonic acid that can be produced from 5 mol NaHCO3 and 9 mol HCl.
moles of carbonic acid :
5
mol
Which of the two reactants limits the number of moles of H2CO3 that can be made?

HCl

NaHCO3 '

How much excess reactant remains after the reaction?v

Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill an adult a few hours after ingestion. sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. this recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry? applied biochemistry pure organic chemistry pure physical chemistry applied inorganic chemistry

Consider the following system at equilibrium. caco3(s) ca2+(aq) + co32–(aq) the addition of which compound will cause a shift in equilibrium because of a common ion effect? ccl4 co2 cuso4 na2co3
