The equations given below relate to the manufacture of sodium carbonate (molecular mass of Na `CO_(3) = 106).`
`NaCl+NH_(3)+CO_(2)+H_(2)O to NaHCO_(3) +NH_(4)Cl`
`2NaHCO_(3) to Na_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O+CO_(2)`
Question a and b are based on the production of 21.2 g of sodium carbonate
b. To produce the mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate calculated in (a) what volume of carbon dioxide measured at STP, would be required?

Explanation

To solve the problem of how much volume of carbon dioxide is required to produce 33.6 grams of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) at standard temperature and pressure (STP), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the molar mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃)
The molar mass of NaHCO₃ can be calculated as follows:
- Sodium (Na): 23 g/mol
- Hydrogen (H): 1 g/mol
- Carbon (C): 12 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 16 g/mol × 3 = 48 g/mol
