Stuck on how to solve for theoretical moles. (#1 a)

**Post-laboratory Assignment**

**Excel Spreadsheet:**

**Part A:**

Use Excel to generate a spreadsheet with the following information:

| Column | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| A | Enter the measured masses of sodium carbonate from data page #1 |
| B | Theoretical Moles CO₂(g) – Using stoichiometry, calculate the theoretical number of moles of CO₂ that can be produced from each reactant entry. |
| C | Theoretical Pressure CO₂(g) – Using the ideal gas law, measured volume, and temperature, calculate the theoretical pressure of CO₂(g) that can be produced from the theoretical moles of CO₂(g) in column B. |
| D | Actual measured pressures of carbon dioxide gas produced from data page #1 |

- On your Excel spreadsheet, circle the mass of sodium carbonate in column A for when the limiting reactant changes. Compare the values in column B to the answer for #1b below.

**Sample calculations associated with the spreadsheet must be completed in QH1 of the Post-Lab to receive credit for the spreadsheet.**

---

**Sample Calculations:**

Use the quantities measured in the lab and the ideal gas law.

**Part A**

a. **Calculate the theoretical number of moles of carbon dioxide gas produced using your measured mass of sodium carbonate for the 0.100 grams of Na₂CO₃. (Sample calculation for column B)**

\[
0.1129 \, \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \times \frac{1 \, \text{mol Na}_2\text{CO}_3}{105.99 \, \text{g Na}_2\text{CO}_3} \times \frac{1 \, \text{mol CO}_2}{1 \, \text{mol Na}_2\text{CO}_3} = 0.001056 \, \text{mol CO}_2
\]

b. **Calculate the theoretical mole quantity of carbon dioxide gas produced from 5.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl aqueous solution.**

\[
1.0 \, \text{M HCl} \times \frac{5.0 \, \text{mL}}{1} \times \frac{1 \, \text{L}}{1000 \, \text{mL}} \times \frac{1
