Sodium hydrogencarbonate and acids

Sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3) is a common metal hydrogencarbonate. It reacts with acids like sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to produce carbon dioxide gas and other products.

Preparing a soda-acid fire extinguisher

A solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate is poured into a wash bottle. A small tube containing dilute sulfuric acid is suspended in the bottle. When the bottle is tilted, the acid mixes with the sodium hydrogencarbonate, creating a reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas, which is released through a nozzle.

Carbon dioxide and fire extinguishers

Carbon dioxide gas is a key component in fire extinguishers because it is heavier than air and does not support combustion. When it is released, it blankets the fire, cutting off oxygen and extinguishing the flames.

Effect of carbon dioxide on flame

In the experiment, when the discharge from the fire extinguisher is directed at a burning candle, the flame is extinguished because the carbon dioxide gas cuts off the oxygen supply to the flame.

What happens when an acid reacts with a metal hydrogencarbonate?

The reaction between an acid and a metal hydrogencarbonate (like sodium hydrogencarbonate) produces a salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is used in fire extinguishers to release carbon dioxide which smothers flames.

How is carbon dioxide used in fire extinguishers?

The reaction of a metal hydrogencarbonate with an acid releases carbon dioxide gas. This gas can be used to extinguish fires because it displaces oxygen, preventing flames from burning.

What is the reaction of acids with metal hydrogencarbonates used for?

The reaction of acids with metal hydrogencarbonates is a common chemical reaction that is used in various applications, such as fire extinguishers, to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas is useful for extinguishing fires because it displaces oxygen, making it difficult for flames to burn.

How does a soda-acid fire extinguisher work?

When the acid from the ignition tube mixes with the sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, it sparks a chemical reaction. This reaction releases carbon dioxide, which creates pressure and forces the solution to discharge out of the nozzle.

How do you use a soda-acid fire extinguisher?

The direction of discharge from the nozzle should be pointed at the base of the fire, to effectively smother the flames with the carbon dioxide gas.

Study Notes

Acids, Bases, and Salts

  • Sour tastes are due to acids, bitter tastes are due to bases
  • Acidic problems can be solved by remedies like lemon juice or baking soda solutions
  • Acids change blue litmus to red, bases change red litmus to blue
  • Litmus is a natural indicator
  • Turmeric is a natural indicator
  • Synthetic indicators like methyl orange and phenolphthalein can test for acids and bases
  • Litmus is a purple dye extracted from lichen and used as an indicator
  • Litmus is purple in neutral solution
  • Other natural indicators include red cabbage leaves, turmeric, and coloured petals of some flowers (Hydrangea, Petunia, Geranium)
  • A stain of curry on a white cloth turns reddish-brown when soap is scrubbed on it, then yellow again when rinsed with water
