The masses of the components are obtained as;
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
- Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>
The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.
Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g
Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol
= 3.51 g

The molecule with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms is said to be an isomer.
When 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with chlorine in the presence of light gives three isomers that is
(3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane),
(1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane) and
(1-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutane).
In above case, the molecular formula of all isomers are same i.e.
but chlorine is arranged in different positions of carbon. Thus, results isomers.
The reaction is shown in the image.
