When NaHCO3 is heated above 270, it decomposes to form sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide. Write a balanced equation for the reaction and calculate the mass of H2O produced from the decomposition of 45.0g of NaHCO3.

 

Potassium superoxide, KO2, reacts with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and oxygen:

This reaction makes potassium superoxide useful in a self-contained breathing apparatus. How much O2 could be produced from the reaction of 4.88g of KO2 with 2.56g of CO2?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question

When NaHCO3 is heated, it decomposes to form sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide.

The balanced chemical equation can be written as follows:

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

2 mol                    1 mol        1 mol     1 mol

According to the balanced equation:

2 mol of  NaHCO3 produces 1 mol H2O.
