How many moles of CO2 gas will be produced in the reaction between baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) if 6 mol of baking soda is reacted in excess vinegar?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]6molCO_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described reaction, we can set up the chemical equation as shown below:

[tex]NaHCO_3+CH_3COOH\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O+CH_3COONa[/tex]

We can evidence the 1:1 mole ratio of baking soda (NaHCO3) to CO2 and therefore the produced moles of latter are calculated as shown below:

[tex]6molNaHCO_3*\frac{1molCO_2}{1molNaHCO_3} \\\\6molCO_2[/tex]
