What is 'nahco3'? If you mean 'NaHCO3'. , this is a white crystalline solid. However, it will dissolve in water to form a solution.

NaHCO3 goes by the names, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Sodium Bi-Carbonate, Baking Soda, Baking Powder.

As the last two names suggest, it is used in bakery, to make the dough rise in a hot over, because of itself it undergoes thermal decomposition, to produce carbon dioxide.

In solution it can be used a a good cleansing agent.

In solution it is very slightly acidic, (pH ~ 6.8) because it separates into the ions, Na(+) , H^(+) , and CO3^(2-) . It is the H^(+) that lends it acidity.

NB When writing chemical formula. all single letter symbols are written as CAPITAL letters . 'H' not 'h', 'C' not 'c' & 'O' not 'o' . Two letter symbols are written . first letter is a CAPITAL letter and the second letter is lower case. 'Na' not 'na'.

This is the recogniosed International (IUPAC) Standard, and as found i n the Periodic Table.

Is an aqueous solution of NaHCO3 basic?

Yes, an aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) is slightly basic.


Which is more concentrated 5 percent NaHCO3 or 5M NaHCO3?

5M NaHCO3 is more concentrated than 5 percent NaHCO3. Molarity (M) measures the concentration of a solution based on the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, whereas percent concentration is based on the mass of the solute per 100 parts of the total solution.


Is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) soluble in water and therefore considered an aqueous solution?

Yes, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is soluble in water and forms an aqueous solution.


What is the pH of NaHCO3?

NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) [at room temperature] will produce a pH of around 8.


What substance would you add to NaHCO3(aq) to form a buffer solution?

You would add a weak acid, like acetic acid (CH3COOH), to NaHCO3(aq) to form a buffer solution. The weak acid will react with the bicarbonate ion in NaHCO3 to maintain a stable pH.

What does NaHCO3 change to when dissolved in H2O?

NaHCO3 is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda.) It is water soluble, and in solution it will dissociate into Na+ ions and HCO3- ions.


If Julie had a 2.5 molar solution of nahco3 and needed to make 50 ml of a 1.0 m solution how much nahco3 and water would she need?

To prepare 50 ml of a 1.0 M NaHCO3 solution from a 2.5 M stock solution, she would need to mix 10 ml of the 2.5 M solution with 40 ml of water. This dilution would result in a final concentration of 1.0 M.

The solution must contain Na2CO3 and NaHCO3.


What is the pH for sodium bicarbonate?

Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3 is alkaline so the pH will be greater than 7. However, the actual pH will depend on the concentration of the NaHCO3 solution.

What is the percent by mass of naHco3 in a solution of 40.0g naHco dissolved in 800.0ml of h2o?

First of all, you need to know the density of the water. The density can be calculated by 1g/ml. Then the mass of H2O can be calculated by DXV=1x800. Then the total mass of the solution is the mass of solvent plus mass of solute. The percentage is 4.76 for this solution.
