Question

1)Some sulfuric acid is spilled on a lab bench. It can be neutralized by sprinkling sodium bicarbonate on it and then mopping up the resultant solution. The sodium bicarbonate reacts with sulfuric acid as follows:
2NaHCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq) ? Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2CO2(g)
Sodium bicarbonate is added until the fizzing due to the formation of carbon dioxide stops. If 27 mL of 6.0 M sulfuric acid was spilled, what is the minimum mass of sodium bicarbonate that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid?
A) 27 g
B) 27 kg
C) 27 mg
D) 27
