Chapter 5, Problem 105P(choose chapter or problem)
Sodium bicarbonate (\(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\)) is called baking soda because when heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, doughnuts, and bread.
(a) Calculate the volume (in liters) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) produced by heating 5.0 g of \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\) at 180°C and 1.3 atm.
(b) Ammonium bicarbonate (\(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{HCO}_{3}\)) has also been used for the same purpose. Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of using \(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{HCO}_{3}\) instead of \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\) for baking.
