Answer:

The overview of the subject is outlined underneath in the summary tab.

Explanation:

The molar ratio seems to be essentially a balanced chemical equilibrium coefficient that implies or serves as a conversion factor for the product-related reactants.
This ratio just says the reactant proportion which reacts, but not the exact quantity of the reacting product. Consequently, the molar ratio should only be used to provide theoretical instead of just a definite mass ratio.

For the reaction Na2CO3+Ca(NO3)2⟶CaCO3+2NaNO3 how many grams of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, are produced from 79.3 g of sodium car

Answer:

74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + Ca(NO₃)₂ ⟶ CaCO₃ + 2 NaNO₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole
CaCO₃: 1 mole
NaNO₃: 2 mole

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
Ca(NO₃)₂: 164 g/mole
CaCO₃: 100 g/mole
NaNO₃: 85 g/mole

then by stoichiometry the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole* 106 g/mole= 106 g
Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole* 164 g/mole= 164 g
CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
NaNO₃: 2 mole* 85 g/mole= 170 g

You can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 106 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce 100 grams of CaCO₃, 79.3 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce how much mass of CaCO₃?

$mass of CaCO_{3} =\frac{79.3 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3} *100 grams of of CaCO_{3}}{106 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3}}$
