It can result in a dangerous decrease in the normal acidity of the blood. If you have overdosed on sodium bicarbonate, please call a doctor and ask for their advice immediately. You can call the emergency room of a hospital if you have no doctor. Quote from the Related Link, "Sodium Bicarbonate: What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Sodium Bicarbonate - AOL Health" : "Stop taking sodium bicarbonate and seek emergency medical attention if you experience a rare allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Stop taking sodium bicarbonate and notify your doctor if you experience * nausea or vomiting; * headache; * severe mood changes; * muscle pain; * swelling of feet, ankles or legs * decreased appetite; * unusual tiredness; * constipation; * dry mouth or increased thirst; or * increased urination. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome."

How much sodium bicarbonate do you use when replacing Sodium Hydrogen carbonate?

Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate are different names for the same chemical, Na2HCO3. Specifically, the "HCO3(2-)" part is called a "polyatomic ion", which essentially means it has an electrical charge. It has two names, and those names refer to the same exact chemical.

How much is the acidity of sodium bicarbonate?

The solution of sodium bicarbonate is slightly basic in nature.but with a base it ALSO acts as an even weaker acid.It's both a weak base and an (even weaker) acid.acid (proton donor) HCO3− + H2O CO32− + H3O+with pKa = 10.3base (proton acceptor) HCO3− + H2O H2CO3 + OH−with pKb = 6.3


What is the common name of baking soda?

The common name of baking soda would be "baking soda". It doesn't get much more common than that. You may also see it referred to as bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate. Its IUPAC name, since asking for that would have made more sense given that you already had the common name, is sodium hydrogen carbonate.


When washing soda and vinegar combine?

There are two possible outcomes depending on how much of each is mixed. Washing soda is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) while vinegar is acetic acid (CH3CO2H) in water. If there is more washing soda than acetic acid then the products will be sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda. The reaction will have no visible effect, though there will be a slight increase in temperature. If there is more acetic acid than sodium carbonate, ideally at least twice as much, then the products will be sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
