Answer:

Roman numerals in a chemical formula indicate the charge on the metal cation before them. They are used in situations where the multiple oxidation states are available to the metal. For example, iron can be both 2+ and 3+, so to distinguish between the two, we use iron (II) and iron (III) respectively.

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

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:

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