Why must all chemical equations be balanced?

1 answer:

8 0

If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an

Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

$m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g$

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

$m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Apply the law of mass conservation:

$m_r=m_p$

Substitute the given variables:

$m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

$m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g$
