Question

Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide as follows:

2NaOH(s)+CO2(g)→Na2CO3(s)+H2O(l)

How many moles of Na2CO3Na2CO3 can be produced?
Express your answer in moles to two decimal places.
I Review I Constants I Periodic Table
Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide as follows:
2NAOH(s) + CO2 (g) → Na2 CO3 (s) + H2O(1)
Correct
The limiting reactant is the one that is completely consumed during the reaction. According to the reaction stoichiometry, two
moles of NaOH are consumed per one mole of CO2 in a complete reaction. The amount of NaOH needed for a complete
consumption of 1.20 mol CO2 is
2 mol NaOH
mol NaOH needed to react
1.20 mol CO, x
1 mol CO,
2.40 mol NaOH
Since only 2.30 mol NaOH are available, NaOH will run out before all CO2 reacts. Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reactant.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Balanced reaction: A chemical reaction is said to be balanced when all number of atom at reactant and at product are equal. It is important to balance atom on both side because chemical reactions works on principle of law of conservation of mass, which states that during a chemical reaction atoms are not lost but they convert into stable molecules as desired product.
