Answer:
A. 13.5 moles of CO2
B. 4.5 moles of Na3C6H5O7
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
3NaHCO3(aq) + C6H8O7(aq) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(s) + Na3C6H5O7(aq)
A. Determination of the number of mole CO2 produced from the reaction. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of C6H8O7 reacted to produce 3 moles of CO2.
Therefore, 4.5 moles of C6H8O7 will react to produce = 4.5 x 3 = 13.5 moles of CO2.
From the above calculation, 13.5 moles of CO2 is produced
B. Determination of the number of mole of Na3C6H5O7 produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of C6H8O7 produced 1 mole of Na3C6H5O7.
Therefore, 4.5 moles of C6H8O7 will also produce 4.5 moles of Na3C6H5O7.
Therefore, 4.5 moles of Na3C6H5O7 is produced from the reaction.
