Ok so I have a lab to do and was wondering if this equation was correct. In the lab, Alka Seltzer was placed into acetic acid. I have to calculate the amount of sodium bicarbonate in the alka seltzer. I know that citric acid and sodium bicarbonate react in the seltzer, and CO2 is produced. Any help here?

 

C2H4O2 + NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 -> NaC2H3O2 + CO2 +H2O

 

I also have to balance it but I can do that on my own. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Nevermind I know that equation is jacked up now. Time to start over.

 

Nevermind again. I figured it out
