Chapter 9, Problem 15E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the decomposition of $\text{1}\text{.10}\text{g}\text{of}{\text{NaHCO}}_{\text{3}}$, the mass in grams of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ produced is to be calculated. The stoichiometry type of the corresponding problem is to be classified.

Concept introduction:

Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. In a chemical equation the reactants are represented on the left of the arrow while the products are represented on the right of the arrow.

Stoichiometric coefficient is the number preceding each symbol in a reaction which determines the moles of the reactants and products in the reaction.
