The equation given below relate to the manufacture fo sodium carbonate (molecular weight of Na2CO3=106). 1. NaCl+NH3+CO2+H2O→NaHCO3+NH4C 2. 2NaHCO3→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2 Equations (1) and (2) are based on the production of 21.2 g of sodium carbonate. (a) What mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate must be heated to give 21.2 g of sodium carbonate? (b) To produce the mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate calculated in (a) what volume of carbon dioxide, measured at STP, would be required?
