Not sure, but I would guess it's due to environmental factors, like heat, and imperfections in the metal. Just an educated guess, though.
Answer: 15.1 grams
Given reaction:
Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3
Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g
Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol
# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH
# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles
Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol
Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams
Explanation:
The negative ion reactions that consist of the formation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is generally an exothermic reaction. By definition, an exothermic reaction takes place when the chemical process eventually releases heat as its by-product. It is in contrast in endothermic process wherein heat is absorbed.
