Calcium dihydrogen phosphate, Ca(H2PO4)2, and sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3, are ingredients of baking powder that react witheach other to produce CO2, which causes dough or batter torise:
Ca(H2PO4)2 (s) + NaHCO3 (s) ------------ CO2(g) + H2O(g) +CaHPO4(s) + Na2HPO4(s) (unbalanced)
If the baking powder contains 31.0% NaHCO3 and 35.0% Ca(H2PO4)2by mass:
a.) How many moles of CO2 are produced from 1.41 g of bakingpowder?
b.) If 1 mol of CO2 occupies 37.0 L at 350 degrees F, whatvolume of CO2 is produced from 1.41 g of baking powder?
