Answer:

#a.  Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

#b. 0.0231 moles COâ‚‚

Explanation:

  1. Carbonates reacts with acid to produce carbon dioxide and water as products.
  • The reaction between sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid yields sodium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced equation for the reaction is;

Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

Part B

  • We are required to calculate the number of moles of COâ‚‚ if 23.1 ml of Naâ‚‚CO₃ were used.

First, we need to calculate the number of moles of Na₂CO₃

  • Volume of Naâ‚‚CO₃ is 23.1 mL or 0.0231 moles
  • Molarity of concentration of Naâ‚‚CO₃ is 1.0 M

But;

Number of moles = Volume × Concentration

Therefore;

Moles of Na₂CO₃ = 0.0231 L× 1.0

                             = 0.0231 moles Na₂CO₃

Second, we can determine the moles of COâ‚‚ produced.

  • From the equation 1 mole of Naâ‚‚CO₃ reacts with the acid to produce 1 mole of COâ‚‚.

This means, the mole ratio of Na₂CO₃ : CO₂ is 1 : 1

Therefore; Moles of COâ‚‚ produced is 0,0231 moles

   = 0.0231 moles CO₂
