Acodofocation of sodium bicarbonate(NaHCO3) producescarbon dioxide in a two-step process. The first step producescarbonic acid (H2CO3). Write and balance themolecular equation for the first step of the reaction of sodiumbicarbonate with HF.
The second step is the decompostion of a carbonic acid toccarbon dioxide. Write and balance the molecular equation for thesecond step.
Now write the overall net ionic equation for te acidification ofNaHCO3 to produce CO2.
What is the molar ratio of CO2 produced toNaHCO3 decomposed?
What mass of CO2 will be produced by the completedecompostion of 1346 mg of NaHCO3?
