Question
The acid-base chemistry reaction of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) in water creates barium thiocyanate, ammonia, and water. The reaction is highly favorable, but is also so endothermic that the solutions cools to such an extent that a layer of frost forms on the reaction vessel. Explain how an endothermic reaction can be favorable.

- Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3, also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid HCl, which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO3 neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) The CO2 gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a woman suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 200.mL of a 0.089M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO3 would she need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation to produce sulfur dioxide.

Solutions with a pH-value of less than 7 are acidic; solutions with a pH-value of greater than 7 are basic; solutions with a pH-value of 7 (such as pure water) are neutral. Black coffee has a pH of 5 and pure water has a pH of 7. Compare the pH of each and determine how much more acidic black coffee is than pure water.arrow_forward
- Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water. How many moles of Si(OH)4 form when 4.01 moles of H2O react with an excess of SiCl4?arrow_forwardAn increase in water temperature is observed when 1.97 g of NaOH is added.
