When #"H"_2"SO"_4"# reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate there is no reaction at all. What is the chemical equation for this?

Answer 1

The general equation for the reaction that occurs when sulfuric acid and sodium bicarbonate (also known as sodium hydrogen carbonate and baking soda) are combined is as follows: sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.

acid + carbonate #rarr# salt + carbon dioxide + water

For this reaction, the chemical equation is balanced as follows:

#"H"_2"SO"_4("aq")# + #"2NaHCO"_3"(aq")"# #rarr# #"Na"_2"SO"_4("aq")# + #"2CO"_2("g")# + #"2H"_2"O"("l")#

The chemical equation for the reaction between "H"_2"SO"_4 and sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) resulting in no reaction is:

2H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → No Reaction

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
