What is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the interaction of sodium carbonate with a chemical
What is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the interaction of sodium carbonate with a chemical amount of 0.5 mol with hydrochloric acid?
The reaction of sodium carbonate dissolution in hydrochloric acid is described by the following chemical reaction equation:
Na2CO3 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O;
When 1 mol of sodium carbonate is dissolved in acid, 1 mol of gaseous carbon dioxide is synthesized. This consumes 2 mol of hydrochloric acid.
Thus, when 0.5 mol of soda is dissolved, 0.5 mol of carbon dioxide is synthesized.
Let’s calculate its volume.
To do this, we multiply the amount of substance and the standard volume of 1 mole of gaseous substance.
1 mole of ideal gas fills a volume of 22.4 liters under normal conditions.
V CO2 = 0.5 x 22.4 = 11.2 liters;
