Chapter 17, Problem 56(choose chapter or problem)
Both sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate) and sodium hydroxide can be used to neutralize acid spills. What is the pH of 1.00 M and of 1.00 M NaOH(aq)? On a per-liter basis, do these two solutions have an equal capacity to neutralize acids? Explain. On a per-gram basis, do the two solids, and NaOH(s), have an equal capacity to neutralize acids? Explain. Why do you suppose that is often preferred to NaOH in neutralizing acid spills?
