what volume of carbon 4 oxide measured at STP will produce when 21 gram of sodium hydrogen carbonate for is completely decomposed accor. ding to the equation. (Na=23. H=1 C=12 O=16) molar vol =22.4dmcube. plse help

The volume of CO₂ at STP = 2.8 L

Given

21 gram of sodium hydrogen carbonate-NaHCO₃

Required

Volume of CO₂

Solution

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water :

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

mol of NaHCO₃ :

= mass : MW NaHCO₃

= 21 g : 84 g/mol

= 0.25

From the equation, mol ratio of NaHCO₃(s) :CO₂(g) = 2 : 1, so mol CO₂ :

= 1/2 x mol NaHCO₃

= 1/2 x 0.25

= 0.125

At STP, 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 0.125 mol :

= 0.125 x 22.4 L

= 2.8 L

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
