The equations given below relate to the manufacture of sodium carbonate (Molecular weight of Na2CO3 = 106). NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 Questions (a) and (b) 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 (Molecular weight of NaHCO3 = 84)? (b) To produce the mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate, calculate what volume of carbon dioxide, measured at STP would be required?
On passing CO2, through concentrated solution of Na2CO3 gives
Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 → ___
