16.8 g of sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is completely decomposed by heat. Calculate the volume of carbon(IV) oxide given off s.t.p
[Na 23, C = 12, O = 16, H = 1, Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3]
Detalhes da Resposta
2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2
Relative molecular mass of NaHCO3 = 23 +1 + 12 + 16 * 3 = 84smol-1
2 * 84g of NaHCO3 will be liberated 22.4dm3 or CO2 at s.t.p
16.8g of NaHCO3 will libertae (16.8 * 22.4)/(2 * 84) = 2.24 dm3

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
From the equation above, calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide produced by 2.3g of sodium.
[H = 1, O = 16, Na = 23]
Detalhes da Resposta
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Relative molecular mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40smol-1
2 * 23g of sodium react with water to produce
2 * 40g of NaOH
∴ 2.3g of sodium will react with water to produce
(2.3 * 40 * 2)/(23 * 2) = 4.00g
