1. Balance the equation. I think it is balanced as is.
2a. Convert 10 g NaHCO3 to moles. moles = grams/molar mass.
2b. Convert 10 g HCl to moles. Same process. We don't necessarily need the molarity if we have grams and no volume is listed.
3a. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert moles HCl to moles CO2.
3b. Same procedure, convert mols NaHCO3 to moles CO2.
3c.In limiting reagent problems, the answers to 3a and 3b are not the same which means one of them is wrong. The correct one, in limiting reagent problems is ALWAYS the smaller value and the reactant producing that value is the limiting reagent.
4. Using the smaller value from 3c, convert moles CO2 to grams. g = moles x molar mass.
NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + H2O + CO2
The HCl in the reaction is 2 molar what i need it to figure out how much CO2 if produced when 10g of each substance is mixed. And the limmiting reagent and any information that can be produced around the ammount of CO2 prouced.
