Antacids, such as Alka-Seltzer, use the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with citric acid in water solution to produce a fizz as follows:

3NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 → 3CO2 + 3H2O+ Na3C6H5O7

If 3.88 g of the citric acid (C6H8O7) reacts with excess sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), how many grams of carbon dioxide are formed as the solution fizzes?
