When the carbonate ion (CO3-2) reacts with an acid agas is evolved.
a. What is the identity and molar mass of that gas?
b. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction ofNa2CO3 with HCl to produce this
gas.
c. If 2.0 moles of Na2CO3 is reacted with HCl, how many moles ofgas will be produced?
Explain.
d. If 0.345 moles of the gas are produced during a reaction andcollected at a temperature of
294 K and pressure of 0.981 atm, what volume will the gas occupy?Show your work.
