what is the balanced equation? By overdosed do you mean a limiting reagent or something to that nature? that is what my class refers to it as? and The molar mass of NaHCO3 was a typo.. lol

I think my main problem in this lab is finding out how to balence the equation. I know that I have 22.806 mol of NaHCO3 5.204 mol of C6H8O7 and 1.803 mol of C9H8O4. But aside from the CO2 that I am trying to find, I don't know what the other products of the reaction are? are they even important...

How exactly do I balance this equation?

Oh and I fixed my original post btw.. i forgot to type in the mass of Sodium Bicarbonate I have.. my b.

Ok, My (simple) calculations are saying that I have 22.806 mols of NaHCO3 (1916 mg)/(80.01 g/mol). What exactly does does that second part mean? Sorry if I am a bit unknowing in this sort of thing, I am in high school, but I truly appreciate the help btw!

1) Are you asking how many moles of the Sodium Bicarbonate there are? 2) how would I find out which one (acid or base) is overdosed?

Effervescent Antacid Lab! Need Help! Fast! OK! I have a class where I need to design an Effervescent Antacid Lab. (Alka-seltzer). The point is to find how many Moles of CO2 are produced when 325 mg of aspirin (C9H8O4) 1000 mg of citric acid (C6H8O7) and 1916 mg Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) react...
