3. Calculate the theoretical value for the number of moles of CO2 that should have been produced in each balloon assuming that 1.45 g of NaHCO3 is present in an antacid tablet. Use stoichiometry (a mole ratio conversion must be present) to find your answers (there should be three: one answer for each balloon). (6 pts)

the theoretical value for the number of moles of   is 0.0173 moles

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is represented by:

From above equation; we would realize that 3 moles of reacts with to produce 3 moles of

However ; the molar mass of  = 84 g/mol

mass given for  = 1.45 g

therefore , we can calculate the number of moles of  by using the expression :

number of moles of  =

number of moles of  =

number of moles of  = 0.0173 mole

Since the ratio of to is 1:1; that implies that number of moles of is equal to number of moles of   produced.

number of moles of   =

0.0173 =

mass of    = 0.0173 × 44

mass of    = 0.7612 g

Thus; the theoretical value for the number of moles of   is 0.0173 moles

i would say b

explanation:

but i think i would need more information than that
