Grease fires can be extinguished by applying baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate), which decomposes due to the heat to produce sodium oxide, carbon dioxide and water. The carbon diocide produced helps to smother the flames. How many grams of baking soda would need to be thrown on to a fire to produce 0.500 moles (approximately 11 L) of carbon dioxide gas?
