Answer to Question #55399 in General Chemistry for Tracy Guido

Question

NaHCO3(aq) + H3C6H5O7(aq) = H2O(l) + CO2(g) + NaC6H5O7(aq)
3 NaHCO3(aq) + H3C6H5O7(aq) = 3 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l) + Na3C6H5O7(aq)
4. List at least 2 types of reactions that the equation in question #2 can be categorized as?
If 0.950 grams of citric acid (C6H8O7) reacts
How many moles of sodium bicarbonate will be consumed
How many moles of carbon dioxide will be generated
How many grams of carbon dioxide will be generated

One type of reaction is combustion What would be the second?

Convert grams to moles
.950 g citric acid x (1 mole/ 192.123 grams C6H8O7) = .00495 moles of C6H8O7

how many moles of sodium bicarbonate will be consumed
.00495 moles of C6H8O7 x (3 moles NaHCO3/1 mole of C6H8O7) = .01485 moles of NaHCO3

how many moles of carbon dioxide will be generated
.00495 moles of C6H8O7 x (3 moles CO2/1 mole of C6H8O7) = .01485 moles of CO2

how many grams of carbon dioxide will be generated
.01485 moles of CO2 x (44.01 grams of CO2/1mole CO2) = .653 grams of CO2
