How many kg of carbon dioxide are used per year to produce their arm and hammer baking soda?

1 answer:

3 0

The complete question would be as follows:

700,000 tons of baking soda are produced per year. How many kilograms of carbon dioxide are used per year to produce baking soda?

We calculate as follows:

CO2(g) + NH3(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O -----> NaHCO3(s) + NH4Cl(aq)

700000 tons NaHCO3 ( 907.185 kg / 1 ton ) (1 kmole NaHCO3 / 84.0 kg NaHCO3) x (1 kmole CO2 / 1 kmole NaHCO3) x (44.0 kg CO2 / 1 kmole) = 3x10^8 kg CO2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

denis23 [38]

Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.

Because:

Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.

Under certain conditions, the substance ammonium chloride can be broken down to form ammonia and hydrogen chloride. If 29.4 gram

lina2011 [118]

Answer: 20.0 g of hydrogen chloride must simultaneously be formed

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$NH_4Cl\rightarrow NH_3+HCl$

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. The mass on reactant side must be equal to the mass on product side.

Thus mass of reactants = mass of products

Given : mass of ammonium chloride = mass of reactants = 29.4 g

mass of ammonia = 9.4 g

mass of products = mass of ammonia + mass of hydrogen chloride

9.4 g +mass of hydrogen chloride = 29.4 g

mass of hydrogen chloride = 20.0 g
