Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3(s), can be prepared by heating sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3(s).


2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) Kp = 0.23 at 100ºC

If a sample of NaHCO3 is placed in an evacuated flask and allowed to achieve equilibrium at 100ºC, what will the total gas pressure be?

2 answers

Kp = 0.23 = pCO2*pH2O
pCO2 = pH2O
p = sqrt(0.23) = ?
pCO2 + pH2PO = ?
2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) Kp = 0.23 at 100ºC

If a sample of NaHCO3 is placed in an evacuated flask and allowed to achieve equilibrium at 100ºC, what will the total gas pressure be?
A) 0.46 atm B) 0.96 atm C) 0.23 atm D) 0.48 atm E) 0.11 atm
