When a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds or elements in a chemical reaction then it is known as decomposition reaction.
The chemical symbol for sodium carbonate is .
The decomposition of sodium carbonate is:
The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate, will result in the formation of sodium oxide,
and carbon dioxide,
.
Hence, carbon dioxide, will produce with sodium oxide,
on decomposition of
.
Answer: There is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.
Explanation:
Chemical equation depicting reaction between sodium phosphate and aluminum carbonate is as follows.
As this equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is a balanced equation.
According to the equation, 2 moles of sodium phosphate is giving 3 moles of sodium carbonate.
Therefore, sodium carbonate formed by 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate is as follows.
As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of sodium carbonate ( molar mass = 105.98 g/mol) is as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that there is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.
