Question

Medal for best answer that isn't copied and pasted from Yahoo answers!


If a typical antacid tablet contains 2.0 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate, how many moles of carbon dioxide should one tablet yield?

Answer 1

Is there a specific formula I can use to do this?

Answer 2

yep, it's moles=mass/molar mass

you have to compare the formulas though.
1 molecule of CO2 has one C atom, 1 molecule of NaHCO3 has 1 carbon atom, so, moles of NaHCO3=moles of CO2

so it's the same thing

Answer 3

Thank you!

Answer 4

no problem
