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

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
