3. The equation for the decomposition of sodium hydrogencarbonate is : 2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O(l) + CO2(8)
If 21 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate were decomposed, calculate
(a) the mass of the residue formed.
(b) the volume of carbon dioxide evolved measured at r. t.p.

a. 13.25 g

b. 3 L

Given

21 g of Sodium hydrogencarbonate

Reaction

2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Required

mass of residue

volume of CO2

Solution

mol  NaHCO₃ (MW=84 g/mol) :

a. the residue = Na₂CO₃

From the equation, mol ratio NaHCO₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 2 : 1, so mol Na₂CO₃ :

mass Na₂CO₃ (MW=106 g/mol) :

b. From equation, mol CO₂ = 0.5 x mol NaHCO₃ = 0.125

RTP= 25 C, 1 atm ⇒ 1 mol =24 L

So volume CO₂ :

the first point, i am pretty sure.

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
