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 CaCO₃= 74.81 grams
<u><em>74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.</em></u>
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
