<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 1.18 g.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given a chemical equation:

We know that at STP conditions:
22.4L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas.
So, 2.21L of carbon dioxide is occupied by =
of carbon dioxide gas.
By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:
1 mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced by 1 mole of carbon
So, 0.0986 moles of carbon dioxide is produced by =
of carbon.
Now, to calculate the mass of carbon, we use the equation:

Moles of carbon = 0.0986 mol
Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is 1.18 g.
Answer:
The balloon becomes inflated
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;
NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.
This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.
Missing question: Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and cobalt(II) bromide are combined.<span>Balanced chemical reaction:
(NH</span>₄)₂CO₃(aq) + CoBr₂(aq) → CoCO₃(s) + 2NH₄Br(aq).
Net ionic reaction:
2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) → CoCO₃ + 2NH₄(aq)+ 2Br(aq).
or CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) → CoCO₃(s).
