If a weaker solution of sodium bicarbonate was used in beaker B, would that solution require more or less acetic acid to neutralize it? Why?

Respuesta :

Answer is: less acetic acid to neutralize it.

Balanced chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate solution and acetic acid: NaHCO₃(aq) + CH₃COOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g).

According to chemical reaction: n(NaHCO₃) : n(CH₃COOH) = 1 : 1.

Stronger solution of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), more acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is neeed for neutralization.
