what volume of carbon 4 oxide measured at STP will produce when 21 gram of sodium hydrogen carbonate for is completely decomposed accor. ding to the equation. (Na=23. H=1 C=12 O=16) molar vol =22.4dmcube. plse help

The volume of CO₂ at STP = 2.8 L

Given

21 gram of sodium hydrogen carbonate-NaHCO₃

Required

Volume of CO₂

Solution

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water :

2 NaHCO₃(s) → Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

mol of NaHCO₃ :

= mass : MW NaHCO₃

= 21 g : 84 g/mol

= 0.25

From the equation, mol ratio of NaHCO₃(s) :CO₂(g) = 2 : 1, so mol CO₂ :

= 1/2 x mol NaHCO₃

= 1/2 x 0.25

= 0.125

At STP, 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 0.125 mol :

= 0.125 x 22.4 L

= 2.8 L

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
