Answer:

Fatty acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the given formula, it is possible to infer that the O₂ at the end, accounts for the presence of a carboxyl group (first attached picture), characteristic of carboxylic acids. Moreover, long-chained carboxylic acids are considered as fatty acids due to their high nonpolarity and hydrophobicity, therefore, the molecule with such formula probably a fatty acid, more precisely, stearic acid (second attached picture).

Best regards.

_NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O<br><br>balance the equation

elena55 [62]

The balanced equation :

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O

Required

The balanced equation

Solution

Maybe the equation should be like this :

NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

Give a coefficient

NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O

Make an equation

Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2

H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2

C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2

The equation becomes :

NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
