The balanced equation :
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O
Required
The balanced equation
Solution
Maybe the equation should be like this :
NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Give a coefficient
NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O
Make an equation
Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2
H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2
C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2
The equation becomes :
NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.
The answer is -60.57 = -60.6 KJ.
CaC2(s) + 2 H2O(l) ---> Ca(OH)2(s) +C2H2(g) H= -127.2 KJ
Hf C2H2 = 226.77
Hf Ca(OH)2 = -986.2
<span>Hf H2O = -285.83
Now,
</span><span>add them up. 226.77 - 986.2 + (2*285.83) = -187.77
</span><span>Add back the total enthalpy that is given in the question
-187.77+127.2 = -60.57 </span>
