4-8-SHP-1. Consider the reaction of calcium carbonate with acetic acid:
CaCO3(s) + 2 HC2H3O3(aq) → Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
A solution containing acetic acid is mixed with CaCO3. How much acetic acid is consumed in a reaction that produces 0.400 mol CO2?
A. 0.200 mol, B. 0.400 mol, C. 0.800 mol


4-8-SHP-2. Consider the reaction of calcium carbonate with acetic acid:
