Question

When 1.2 x 10^-3 mol of nitric acid react with excess sodium carbonate, how many moles of carbonic acid are produced?

Answer 1

Technically, none since H2CO3 decomposes as fast as it is formed. H2CO3 ==> H2O + CO2. However, ignoring that, then
2HNO3 + Na2CO3 ==> 2NaNO3 + H2CO3
The equation tells you that 2 mols HNO3 will produce 1 mol H2CO3. So 1.2E-3 mols will produce ......?
