Be sure to answer all parts. barium carbonate decomposes upon heating to barium oxide and carbon dioxide. enter and balance the equation (including the physical states) calculate the number of g of carbon dioxide produced by heating 71.0 g of barium carbonate. g co2

The mass of carbon dioxide produced is 15.8 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:  

      ......(1)

Mass of barium carbonate = 71.0 grams

Molar mass of barium carbonate = 197.34 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

The chemical equation for the decomposition of barium carbonate follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of barium carbonate produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So, 0.360 moles of barium carbonate will produce = of carbon dioxide.

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.360 mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass of carbon dioxide produced is 15.8 grams
