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

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
