Answer to Question #95216 in Physical Chemistry for m

Question

Write the balanced overall reactions for the conversion of the sodium and potassium hydrogen carbonate salts (bicarbonates) to the sodium and potassium chloride salts.

Answer 1

For sodium hydrogen carbonate-

$NaHCO_3(s)\ +HCl(aq)\to NaCl(aq)+H_2O(aq)+CO_2(g)$

For potassium hydrogen carbonate-

$KHCO_3(s)+HCl(aq)\to KCl(aq)+H_2O(aq)+CO_2(g)$
