Explanation / Answer

2) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Na2CO3 and HCl as below.

Na2CO3 + 2 HCl ---------> 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O

As per the stoichiometric equation,

1 mole Na2CO3 = 2 moles HCl = 1 mole CO2.

Mole(s) of Na2CO3 corresponding to 3.000 g Na2CO3 = (3.00 g)/(105.99 g/mol) = 0.02830 mole.

Mole(s) of HCl corresponding to 10.00 mL of 4.00 M HCl = (10.00 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL)*(4.00 M) = 0.04 mole.

Determine the limiting reactant.

Na2CO3: (0.02830 mole Na2CO3)*(2 mole HCl/1 mole Na2CO3) = 0.05660 mole HCl.

HCl: (0.04 mole HCl)*(1 mole Na2CO3/2 mole HCl) = 0.02 mole Na2CO3.

Offcourse, we do not have 0.05660 mole HCl, but we do have more than 0.02 mole Na2CO3. Therefore, HCl is the limiting reactant and the yield of CO2 is determined by the limiting reactant.

CO2: (0.04 mole HCl)*(1 mole CO2/2 mole HCl) = 0.02 mole CO2.

The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol; hence, the mass of CO2 formed in the reaction = (0.02 mole)*(44.01 g/mol) = 0.8802 g (ans).
