Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
(0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
(0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
log (0.5)ˣ = log 0.03125
x = log 0.03125 / log 0.5
x = 5

Determine the mass of CO2 gas produced when 8.24 g of NaHCO3 is added to a solution that contains 4.41 g of HCl.

hjlf

The mass of CO₂ gas = 4.312 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

NaHCO₃ (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (aq) + CO₂ (g)

Find limiting reactant

mol NaHCO₃

$\tt \dfrac{8.24}{84,007 }=0.098$

mol HCl

$\tt \dfrac{4.41}{36.5}=0.121$

Limiting reactant : NaHCO₃ (smaller)

mol CO₂ = mol NaHCO₃ = 0.098

mass CO₂ :

$\tt 0.098\times 44=4.312~g$
