Calculate the amount in grams of na2co3 needed to react with hcl to produce 120g nacl

Let's start off with the balanced chemical equation:



Assuming the sodium carbonate is the limiting reagent, look at the coefficients of sodium carbonate and sodium chloride and use those as a ratio of sodium carbonate to sodium chloride: 1:2.

Since you have the required mass of NaCl, convert this to moles.

Assuming you know how to find the molar mass of NaCl:






Using the ratio, since 1 mole of sodium carbonate is required to produce 2 moles of sodium chloride, cross-multiply the ratios:





Therefore 1.027 moles of sodium carbonate is required to produce the required amount of sodium chloride. Convert to mass for your final







Hope this helps :)

Ur e n d is not real

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.
