Be sure to answer all parts. when baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate, nahco3) is heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, donuts, and bread. write a balanced equation for the decomposition of the compound (one of the three products is na2co3). do not include states of matter in your balanced equation. calculate the mass of nahco3 required to produce 27.0 g of co2. g nahco3

1.

2. 100.8 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Balanced equation for the decomposition of the compound sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number of particles.

moles of

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of is produced from 2 moles of

Thus 0.6 moles of is produced from = moles of

Mass of  

Thus  the mass of required to produce 27.0 g of   is 100.78 grams.
