The percentage error is given by multiplying relative error by 100%.
Therefore, to get the percentage error we need relative error which is given by dividing the absolute error with the actual value. 
Absolute error = 0.133
Percentage error = 0.133/5.586 × 100%
                            = 2.38%
The percentage error is therefore; 2.38%

A student heats 10.52 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate in a crucible until the compound completely decomposes to sodium carbonate
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

2NaHCO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(g)+CO_2(g)

Thus, since there is a 2:1 mole ratio between the sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate, and the molar masses are 84.01 and 105.99 g/mol respectively, we obtain the following theoretical yield:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=10.52gNaHCO_3*\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{84.01gNaHCO_3}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molNaHCO_3}  *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}\\\\ m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Best regards!
