Question

You and your friends decide to have a big party in your chemistry lab to celebrate the end of the schoo year. For fun, you decide to use beakers instead of cups for the drinks at the party. However, not all o the chemicals from your last experiment were properly put away and a beaker of hydrochloric acid (HCI) was lying around. Your classmate at the party accidentally drinks the whole glass of hydrochloric acid and is now choking. Nevertheless, being the amazing chemist that you are, you know that if you give your classmate baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3,a base), you can neutralize the acid and save your friends life. So, if your friend drank 50g of hydrochloric acid, how many grams of baking soda do you need to completely neutralize the acid and save your friend? NaHCO3 + HCI → H₂O + CO₂ + NaCl
