anonymous · Answer

@aaronq  Can you help me with this one?

aaronq · Answer

HCOOH looks like this |dw:1431123452759:dw|

so the end result is $HCOO^-$ charged balanced by $K^+$

anonymous · Answer

That wasn't right D: @aaronq

aaronq · Answer

HCOOK  wasn't right?

anonymous · Answer

No sadly..

aaronq · Answer

it has to do with the way it's being written, in terms of formatting.

try KCOOH

aaronq · Answer

or some variaion

anonymous · Answer

Nope

anonymous · Answer

I got it haha it was KHCOO

anonymous · Answer

Thanks ! Can i also ask you one more question on here?

aaronq · Answer

dope! yeah sure

anonymous · Answer

How many grams of baking soda, NaHCO3, are needed to react with 160 mL of stomach acid having an HC1 concentration of 0.052 M? The reaction is
NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq)  NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O

aaronq · Answer

so it's the same format as before. they react in a 1:1 molar ratio so:

$\sf \large  M_{acid}V_{acid}=n_{base}$

find moles, n. Convert to grams

anonymous · Answer

I dont remember how to convert moles to grams lol I forgot, It was one of our beginning units

aaronq · Answer

with $\sf  moles=\dfrac{mass}{Molar~mass}$

you have to rearrange it though

anonymous · Answer

@aaronq  The answer i got was wrong,
I did 160mL x 0.052M =8.32 Moles.
With that, i did 8.32/84.01 to conert that to grams

aaronq · Answer

molarity is in mol/L, moles per liter

convert mL to L

anonymous · Answer

Ohh! Okay!

aaronq · Answer

and further more, to find the mass, you multiply the moles by the molar mass, not divide
