Question

Action of acids with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates:

(c) NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ 🡪

Answer 1

• When acids react with metal hydrogen carbonates, they will produce salt, and water along with carbon dioxide.
• Carbon dioxide will produce with brisk effervescence.
• Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with sulphuric acid to form sodium sulphate, water, and carbon dioxide.
• The chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows:
• $\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydrogen}\mathrm{carbonate}}{\mathrm{Na}{\mathrm{HCO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Sulphuric}\mathrm{acid}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{sulphate}}{{\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
