The fizz produced when Alka Seltzer tablet is dissolved in water is due to the reaction between sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid (H3C6H5O7)
3 NaHCO3 (aq) + H3C6H5O7 (aq) → 3 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l) + Na3C6H5O7 (aq)
In a certain experiment 1.50 g of sodium bicarbonate and 4.50 g of citric acid are allowed to react.
A.) Which is the limiting reactant in this experiment?[
B.) What is the maximum yield of CO2 (g) that could form from this reaction?
C.) How many grams of excess reactant remain after the limiting reactant is completely consumed?
D.) If the CO2 (g) is collected in a 6.50 L flask, at 25 °C, what is the pressure caused by the gas in atmospheres?
