Question

IT does not mention the observed yield

PLEASE HELP ME

Assume you perform the procedure outlined in the experiment “% Yield of Sodium Carbonate”. The reaction is as follows: NaHCO₃(s) ® Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g).

You weigh out 1.4895 g baking soda (NaHCO₃), heat it, and are left with 1.0026 g of solid (Na₂CO₃). What is the total mass of gases that was actually produced in the experiment? (Hint: During the reaction, gases will be released to the air. Thus some mass “is lost to the air”) Note: The following questions are all based on this first question.

D) 0.4869 g

Based on the above two questions, calculate the total theoretical mass of gases that should have been produced.

How much CO₂ gas should be produced from 1.4895 g NaHCO₃? (These are theoretical yield)

The Answer is

A) 0.3901 g

How much H₂O gas should be produced from 1.4895 g NaHCO₃ ? (These are theoretical yield)

Th Answer is

D) 0.1596 g

How much gas altogether should be produced? (Theoretical yield)

	A) 0.5497 g
	B) 62 g
	C) 44 g
	D) 1.1994 g

Calculate your percent yield of gases using formula percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100% (This equation will be used often, please memorize it)

	A) 29.1%
	B) 88.58%
	C) 0.08858%
	D) 0.0291%
