Based upon the mass of baking soda (NaHCO3) and using an excess of HCl in this experiment, you will 1) determine the mass of CO2 produced (actual yield); 2) calculate a theoretical yield for CO2; and 3) calculate a percent yield for CO2.

Equation of reaction

NaHCO3 +  HCl  >  NaCl  +  H2O  +  CO2(g)

1)The mass(actual yield) of CO2 can be gotten by isolating it from other products and getting its mass.

Assume 1.0g of CO2 was gotten as a product of the experiment

2) For the theoretical yield

The mass of NaHCO3 was not stated, but for the purpose of this solution, I would assume 2g of NaHCO3 was used for the experiment. You can substitute any parameter by following the steps I follow

Number of mole of NaHCO3 = Mass of NaHCO3/ Molar Mass of NaHCO3

Number of mole of NaHCO3 = 2/84.01 = 0.0238 moles

1 mole of NaHCO3 yielded 1 mole of CO2

0.0238 moles of NaHCO3 will yield 0.0238 moles of CO2

Mass of CO2 = Number of moles * Molar Mass

Mass of CO2 = 0.0238 * 44 = 1.0472g

Theoretical yield of CO2 = 1.0472 grams

3) Percentage yield of CO2 = Actual yield/Theoretical yield *100%

Percentage yield of CO2 = 1.0/1.0472 *100

Percentage yield of CO2 = 95.49%

i think is conclusions.i think so
