A rapid release of stored up energy
Answer:
Sodium Bicarbonate on decomposition produces Carbon dioxide gas and Water vapors.
<span> 2 NaHCO</span>₂<span> </span> →<span> Na</span>₂<span>CO</span>₃<span> (s) </span>+ <span> CO</span>₂<span> (g) + H</span>₂<span>O (g)
</span>
Explanation:
Let suppose you burn 168 g ( 2 moles ) of NaHCO₃, a gas will produced and product is left behind. On measuring the product formed it will be almost equal to 105 g. This shows that the product is Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole of it is being produced after decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.
The water molecules will flow from b to a due to osmosis.
Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a selectively permeable membrane.
When the water molecule concentration is higher, it has a higher water potential top. Water potential is the tendency for them to flow to a lower region.
The net movement will stop until both sides of the solution has a same water potential.
The complete and <span>balanced equation for this single-displacement reaction would be written as follows:
</span><span>Li+NaOH--> LiOH + Na
In this reaction, lithium replace sodium in the compound sodium hydroxide forming lithium hydroxide and sodium metal as products. Hope this answers the question.</span>
I would say the energy has to be decreased by 87 kj because the bonding is held together by 87 kj so removing that should prevent the bonding from taking place or reverse it I believe. In other words, a certain amount of energy is required to hold the bond together and in the absence of that energy, the bonding will not take place.
