OpenStudy (jfraser):

what's the formula for sodium bicarbonate? what acid is present in the stomach?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I'm not really sure

rvc (rvc):

acid present in stomach : HCl

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So the answer is C?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

no. stop jumping

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

No, C is the acid in the stomach

rvc (rvc):

the ans is not C

OpenStudy (jfraser):

names and formulas are something you should have covered in an earlier unit, because the question is asking you for the \(product\) of the \(reaction\) between the sodium bicarbonate and stomach acid

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Write out the equation NaHCO3 + HCl ---> NaCl + H2O + CO2

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ok

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Should be pretty blatant now...

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Thank you @sweetburger
