One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

3)·2H2O(s) → 3Na2CO3(s) + CO2(
g. + 5H2O(
g. When 1.00 metric ton (1.00 × 103 kg) of trona is decomposed, 0.650 metric ton of Na2CO3 is recovered. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
 2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂<span>O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between </span>Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s)  and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
                                                                                     = 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
                                                         = 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
                                                         = 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x \frac{3}{2}
                                                     = 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
                                        = 703540.02 g
                                        = 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ =  703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
                            = 92.34%

What's wrong with this thermochemical equation?
mafiozo [28]

This thermochemical equation needs to be balanced. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced equation contains the same number of each type of atom on both the left and right sides of the reaction arrow.

The balanced thermochemical equation is:

H_2(g) + 2NaCl (s) + 3O_2 (g) → 2HCl (l) + 2Na (s) + 2O_3 (g)

Hence, option B is correct.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following: The destruction of a marble statuary by acid rain: aqueous nitric acid r
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The coefficient in front of nitric acid is 2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaCO_3(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)
