Question:

how many moles of bicarbonate where consumed in a reaction with acetic acid if 0.298 moles of co2 where produced?

Solution:

Reaction between bicarbonate and acetic acid:

$$\mathrm{HCO_3^-} + \mathrm{CH_3COOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH_3COO^-} + \mathrm{CO_2} + \mathrm{H_2O}$$

From the following reaction one can note, that the mole number of bicarbonate and $\mathrm{CO_2}$ still the same during the reaction pathway.

Answer:

The mole number of bicarbonate consumed in reaction is 0.298 moles
