Solved: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) undergoes thermal
Chapter 14, Problem 68P(choose chapter or problem)
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) undergoes thermal decomposition as follows:
\(2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\ \leftrightharpoons\ \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\)
Would we obtain more \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) by adding extra baking soda to the reaction mixture in (a) a closed vessel or (b) an open vessel?
