Answer:

1.12dm³

Explanation:

The reaction is a decompositon reaction. It is expressed below:

Mg(HCO₃)₂ + Heat → MgCO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

This is the balanced reaction equation.

We have 1 mole of Mg, 2 mole of H, 2 mole of C, 6 mole of O on both sides of the reaction.

To calculate the volume of CO₂ gas evolved at S.T.P:

We work from the known to the unknown.

The known is Mg(HCO₃)₂ and the unknown is CO₂

1. Find the number of moles of Mg(HCO₃)₂ from the given mass

2. Since we know that chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The balanced chemical reaction shows that, 1 mole of Mg(HCO₃)₂ would give 1 mole of CO₂

3. We use information from (2) to find the number of moles of CO₂. With the number of moles of CO₂ found, we use the formula below to find the volume evolved at S.T.P

Volume evolved =

number of moles of CO₂ x 22.4dm³mol⁻¹

Solution:

Given/known parameters:

Mass of Mg(HCO₃)₂ = 7.3g

Step 1:

Number of moles

of Mg(HCO₃)₂ = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Mg(HCO₃)₂ :

Atomic mass of Mg = 24gmol⁻¹

H = 1gmol⁻¹

C = 12gmol⁻¹

O = 16gmol⁻¹

Molar Mass Mg(HCO₃)₂

= [24 + 2{1 + 12 + (16 x3)} ]

= 24 + 2(1 +12 + 48)

= 24 + 122

= 146gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of

Mg(HCO₃)₂ = 7.3g/126gmol⁻¹ = 0.05mol

Step 2:

We know from the balanced equation that:

1mole of Mg(HCO₃)₂ = 1 mole of CO₂

So: 0.05mol of Mg(HCO₃)₂ = ?

This would also produce 0.05mol of CO₂

Step 3:

Volume of CO₂ evolved =

number of moles of CO₂ x 22.4dm³mol⁻¹

= 0.05 x 22.4

= 1.12dm³

The volume of CO₂ gas evolved at S. T. P is 1.12dm³

The volume of carbon dioxide gas evolved at STP by heating 7.3 gram of Mg(HCO3)2 will be 1.12 L or 1120 ml

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2><h3>Molar gas volume </h3>
  • Molar gas volume states that one mole of a gas occupies a volume of 24 liters when the gas is at room temperature and pressure (rtp), while one mole of a gas will occupy a volume of 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
<h3>Decomposition reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve break down of a compound to small molecules or atoms. Decomposition may be carried using heat (thermal decomposition) or using a catalyst (catalytic decomposition).
  • An example;

The reaction is a decomposition reaction;

<h3>Mg(HCO₃)₂ + Heat → MgCO₃ + H₂O + CO₂</h3>

From the reaction

1 mole of Mg(HCO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of CO₂ after decomposition.

Therefore, to determine the volume of CO₂ produced by 7.3 grams of Mg(HCO₃)₂

<h3>Step 1: Moles of Mg(HCO₃)₂ in 7.3 g</h3>

Number of moles = Mass/relative formula mass

RFM of Mg(HCO₃)₂  =146.33868 g/mol

Therefor;

Number of moles = 7.3 g/146.33868 g/mol

                             = 0.04988

                             = 0.05 moles

<h3>Step 2: Moles of Carbon dioxide </h3>

From the equation;

1 mole of Mg(HCO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of CO₂ after decomposition.

Therefore;

Moles of carbon dioxide produced is 0.05 moles

<h3>Step 3: Volume of Carbon dioxide</h3>

From molar gas volume;

1 mole of  CO₂  at STP occupies 22.4 L

Thus;

0.05 moles will occupy;

= 0.05 × 22.4 L

= 1.12 L or 1120 mL

Therefore; volume of carbon dioxide gas evolved at STP by heating 7.3 gram of Mg(Hco3)2 will be​ 1.12 L or 1120 ml

The model that should show the corresct representation of xenon gas is one in which the gas molecules  are isolated and monoatomic.

<h3>What is a noble gas?</h3>

A noble gas is a member of group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are known not to interact with each other and occur as monoatomic particles.

The images are not shown here hence the question is incomplete. However, we do know that any of the models that show individual monoatomic particles is a representation of xenon gas.
