You multiply the number of atoms by 12 to get how many electrons (since each atom has 12 electrons in it)
you multiply the number of atoms by 13 to get how many neutrons
(since each atom of this isotope has 13 neutrons in it)

For the reaction Na2CO3+Ca(NO3)2⟶CaCO3+2NaNO3 how many grams of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, are produced from 79.3 g of sodium car

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?

$mass of CaCO_{3} =\frac{79.3 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3} *100 grams of of CaCO_{3}}{106 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3}}$

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>
