Question:
Some sulfuric acid is spilled on a lab bench. You can neutralize the acid by sprinkling sodium bicarbonate on it and then mopping up the resultant solution. The sodium bicarbonate reacts with sulfuric acid according to:
2 NaHCO 3 (s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) ? Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2 H 2 O (l) + 2 CO 2 (g)
Sodium bicarbonate is added until the fizzing due to the formation of CO 2 (g) stops. If 27 mL of 6.0 M H2SO4 was spilled, what is the minimum mass of NaHCO 3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid?
