(ii) What is the mass of sodium bicarbonate used in this equation? (iii) How many moles of carbon dioxide are there in this equation?

Answer»

Solution :`2NaHCO_(3)overset(Delta)rarr Na_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O+CO_(2)uarr`
(ii) 2 moles of `NaHCO_(3)` (sodium bicarbonate) are there in the above equation.
(ii) Mass of sodium bicarbonate in this equationi is mass of 2 moles of `NaHCO_(3)`.
`{:("Atomic mass of 1(NA) "1xx23,=, 23g),("Atomic mass of 1(H)"=1xx1,=,1G),("Atomic mass of 1(C)"=1xx12,=,12G),("Atomic mass of 3(O)"=3xx16,=,48),(,,""ulbar("84g")):}`
Mass of 1 MOLE of `NaHCO_(3)=84g`
`therefore"Mass of 2 moles of "NaHCO_(3)=84xx2=168g`
(iii) Number of moles of `Co_(2)` in this equation = 1 mole

3458.

Sodium bicarbonate can be manufactured by Solvary process where addition of brine solution to ammonium bicarbonate solution gives precipitation of sodium bicarbonate. But, its analogue, potassium bicarbonate cannot be prepared by the above process. Explain with respect to the concept of solubility product

Answer»

Solution :Sodium bicarbonate has low value of solubility product. Addition of sodium chloride solution to ammonium carbonate solution results in the double DISPLACEMENT reaction that results in the precipitation of sodium bicarbonate, as ionic product. Potassium bicarbonate has HIGH value of solubility product and is highly soluble. In this case, though double displacement takes place, ionic product cannot exceed the high value of solubility product of `KHCO_(3)`. Therefore, precipitation cannot TAKE place. Hence, this method cannot be EMPLOYED for the preparation of potassium bicarbonate

Sodium and potassium are placed in the same group of modern periodic table. If the molecular formula of sodium sulphate is Na, So, then decide the molecular formula of potassium sulphate. Give reason for your answer.

Answer»

Solution :Molecular formula of potassium SULPHATE : `K_(2)SO_(4)`
If molecular formula of sodium sulphate is `Na_(2)SO_(4)` . It MEANS : `SO_(4)`has valency of 2 and NA has valency of 1.
As, Na and K belongs to same group, they will show same valency, HENCE the formula `K_(2) SO_(4)`
