(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition and confirmation of carbon dioxide production from sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Balanced chemical equation: In a
Aqueous calcium hydroxide solution is known as lime water. When carbon dioxide gas passes though lime water white precipitate is formed due to the formation insoluble calcium carbonate.
To balance: The equation of thermal decomposition of
(b)
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition and confirmation of carbon dioxide production from sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Balanced chemical equation: In a chemical reaction the overall mass of the starting materials should be equal to the overall mass of the products. This is governed by the law of conservation of mass.
Aqueous calcium hydroxide solution is known as lime water. When carbon dioxide gas passes though lime water white precipitate is formed due to the formation insoluble calcium carbonate.
To prove: carbon dioxide production from sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition
