It is much better to use baking soda. Any acid that reacts with baking soda gives off carbon dioxide. Hence, you can see an endpoint through the fizzing. With this, you will know when to stop adding. If you use NaOH, you might add it to an acid that creates an exothermic reaction. For example, if the acid was sulfuric acid, it will create more heat which will lead to more unfortunate events. To be safe, you add baking soda to neutralize, then mix it with a bit of water.

Mass of NaHCO3 sample (g): 1.20 g
sasho [114]

Answer: (22.98977 g Na/mol) + (1.007947 g H/mol) + (12.01078 g C/mol) + ((15.99943 g O/mol) x 3) = 84.0067 g NaHCO3/mol

9.

(1.20 g NaHCO3) / (84.0067 g NaHCO3/mol) = 0.0143 mol NaHCO3

10.

Supposing the question is asking about "how many moles" of CO2. And supposing the reaction to be something like:

NaHCO3 + H{+} = Na{+} + H2O + CO2

(0.0143 mol NaHCO3) x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol NaHCO3) = 0.0143 mol CO2 in theory

11.

n = PV / RT = (1 atm) x (0.250 L) / ((0.0821 L atm/K mol) x (298 K)) = 0.0102 mol CO2

12.

(0.0143 mol - 0.0102 mol) / (0.0143 mol) = 0.287 = 28.7%

How many grams of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, contain 48 grams of oxygen atoms?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

(40 g O) / (15.99943 g O/mol) x (1 mol CaCO3 / 3 mol O) x (100.0875 g CaCO3/mol) =  

83 g CaCO3

So answer D), although three significant digits are not justified.
