Ch.9 - Thermochemistry: Chemical Energy
Chapter 9, Problem 152b
Acid spills are often neutralized with sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate. For neutralization of acetic acid, the unbalanced equations are
(1) CH3CO2H(l) + Na2CO3(s) → CH3CO2Na(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
(2) CH3CO2H(l) + NaHCO3(s) → CH3CO2Na(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
(b) How many kilograms of each substance is needed to neutralize a 1.000-gallon spill of pure acetic acid (density = 1.049 g/mL)?
