Chapter 16, problem 118, the volume of an adult stomach ranges from about 50 milliliters when empty to one liter when full.
00:09
The stomach volume is 400 milliliters and it contains to have a ph of 2.
00:18
How many moles of h -plus does the stomach contain? and then assuming that all the h -plus comes from h -tl, how many grams of sodium hydrogen carbonate will totally neutralize the stomach acidity? so the first thing to note here is that it says if the stomach volume is 40 milliliters and contains to have a ph of 2, we are going to be looking at a volume of 400 milliliters for the ph at 2.
00:48
So the first thing we need to do is find the concentration of h plus to then find the moles of h plus.
00:54
So to do that, we're going to do our h plus concentration is equal to 10 to the negative p.
01:03
And so we're going to do 10 to the negative 2.
01:06
And when we plug the entire calculator, you get 0 .01 molar solution.
01:12
So now, since we have the molarity, now we need to find our moles.
01:15
So molarity is equal to moles over liters.
01:21
One important thing is whenever you are using this equation, your volume has to be in liters.
01:29
And so what you're going to do is you're going to do 400, mean, milllele, and convert that to liters.
01:36
So there's a thousand milliliters and one liter, and so therefore you get 0 .4 liters.
01:44
So going back to the equation of molarity is equal to moles per liter.
01:49
To find your moles, you just multiply over your liters.
01:53
So moles times liters will give you your moles.
01:57
So you're going to do 0 .01 times 0 .4.
02:02
And so when you plug that into the calculator, you get 0 .004.
02:10
So that is how many moles of h plus is in the stomach...
