FINDIND THEORETICAL YIELD OF SODIUM CARBONATE

Question

2NaHCO3(s) --> H2O (g) + CO2(g) + Na2CO3(s)

set up is this

Mass NAHCO3 --> mol NaHCO3 --> mol Na2CO3 --> mass Na2CO3

from there I don't know how to start, please help!

Answer 1

Whatever the given mass of the reactant is, proceed by dimensional analysis: (mass of NaHCO₃) * (1 mol NaHCO₃ / 84.0g NaHCO₃) * (1 mol Na₂CO₃ /1 mol NaHCO₃) * (106.0g Na₂CO₃ /1 mol Na₂CO₃) = mass of Na₂CO₃.
