Answer to Question #248989 in General Chemistry for Charlie

Question

Procedure: Add a teaspoon (5grams) of baking soda(sodium bicarbonate) to 250g water and observe what happens.

Applying what you have learned:

1. Writhe the balanced equation which represents the chemical reaction classify the reaction.

2. Contruct the molar ratios of the chemical equation.

3. Identify the limiting reactant.

4. If no spill of water is incurred by the reaction,what is the theoretical yield?

5. If actual yield is half the theoretical yield, what is the reaction's percent yield?

Answer 1

NaHCo3. +H2O —-> NaOH + H2CO3

Limiting reactant is Water
