When NaHCO, completely decomposes, it can follow this balanced chemical equation:
Na₂CO3 + H₂CO3
2NaHCO3
-
A. Determine the theoretical yields of each product using stoichiometry if the mass of the NaHCO, sample is 3.55 grams. (Show work for both)
B. In an actual decomposition of NaHCO3, the mass of one of the products was measured to be 2.16 grams. Identify which product this could be and justify
your reasoning.
C. Calculate the percent yield of the product identified in part B. (Show your work)
