Question

The fizz produced when an Alka-Seltzer tablet is dissolved
in water is due to the reaction between sodium bicarbonate
(NaHCO₃) and citric acid (H₃C₆H₅O₇₂)
3 NaHCO₃₍aq) + H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq)-------->
3 CO₂₍g) + 3H₂O(l) + Na₃C₆H₅O₇(aq)

In a certain experiment 1.00 g of sodium bicarbonate and
1.00 g of citric acid are allowed to react. The actual yield of CO₂was 0.436 g.

a.) What is the theoretical yield of CO₂? b.) What is the % yield?
