Alka‑Seltzer is marketed as a remedy for stomach problems, such as heartburn or indigestion, and pain relief. It contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid, and is effervescent when placed in water. Enter the equation for the reaction of one sodium bicarbonate ( NaHCO3 ) molecule with one citric acid ( C 6 H 8 O 7 ) molecule. Do not include phases.

The equation for the reaction of one sodium bicarbonate ( NaHCO3 ) molecule with one citric acid (C6H8O7) molecule is the following:

Sodium Bicarbonate + Citric Acid ⇒ Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sodium Citrate

NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 ⇒ 3 CO2 + 3 H2O + Na3C6H5O7

Explanation:

The reaction is in balance, that is, the whole H2CO3 is not finished, but a little bit of this acid is left in the solution. Therefore, when sodium bicarbonate is added to the solution with citric acid, sodium citrate salt (C6H5O7Na3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3) are formed, which is rapidly broken down into water (H2O) and carbonic oxide (CO2).

C6H8O7 + NaHCO3 ⇒ C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2CO3

C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2CO3 ⇔ C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2O + 3 CO2
