Using the experimental data, what mass of the solid product, NaOH, should remain for Reaction I?
Initial Mass: 7.53 g NaHCO
Three potential reactions for this experiment are:
Reaction I:
NaHCO3(s) → NaOH(s) + CO2(g)
Reaction II:
2NaHCO3(s) → Na2O(s) + 2CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Reaction III:
2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)
