all done

Nnesha:

First you have to balance the chemical equation. Can you do that ?

eli1234:

yeet = Yes

Nnesha:

good for you. But i want to know if studydeep knowz how to balance the equation.

Nnesha:

copypaste.. from where ??

eli1234:

this is the best step by step

Nnesha:

ok....

studydeep:

sorry for the late reply but how do i do that?

Nnesha:

\[\rm \color{red}{NaHCO_3 }\rightarrow \color{blue}{ Na_2CO_3+H_2CO_3}\]\[\rm \color{red}{Reactant} ~~~~~~~~~~ \color{blue}{Product}\] write down all the elements that are present in this chemical equation \[\rm \color{red}{Reactants}\]\[\rm\color{red}{ Na}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{H}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{C}\]\[\rm\color{Red}{ O}\] \[\rm \color{blue}{Products}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ Na}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{H}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{C}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ O}\] look at he equation and see how many sodium hydrogen are present at each side

Nnesha:

let me do the product side for you to give you an idea ... \[\rm \color{blue}{Products}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ Na~~~~2}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{H~~~~~~2}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{C~~~~~~2}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ O~~~~~~6}\] there are 2 sodium atom on right side 2 hydrogen atom 2 carbon and 6 oxygen \[\rm O_3 ~~and O_3= 6 ~~oxygen\]

studydeep:

ok i see i think... how do i put this into a balanced chemical equation?

Nnesha:

\[\rm \color{red}{NaHCO_3 }\rightarrow \color{blue}{ Na_2CO_3+H_2CO_3}\]\[\rm \color{red}{Reactant} ~~~~~~~~~~ \color{blue}{Product}\] \[\rm \color{red}{Reactants}\]\[\rm\color{red}{ Na~~~1}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{H~~~1}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{C~~~1}\]\[\rm\color{Red}{ O~~~~3}\] \[\rm \color{blue}{Products}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ Na~~~~2}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{H~~~~~~2}\]\[\rm \color{blue}{C~~~~~~2}\]\[\rm\color{blue}{ O~~~~~~6}\] The number of each atoms needs to be same on both sides so.. if you multiply the reactants by 2 you will get \[\rm \color{red}{\color{black }{2}NaHCO_3 }\rightarrow \color{blue}{ Na_2CO_3+H_2CO_3}\] \[\rm \color{red}{Reactants}\]\[\rm\color{red}{ Na~~~\cancel{1} ~~2}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{H~~~\color{red}{\cancel{1}}~~~2}\]\[\rm \color{Red}{C~~~\cancel{1}~~~2}\]\[\rm\color{Red}{ O~~~~\cancel{3}~~~6}\] The equation is now balanced.

studydeep:

ok I see... now I know that Percent yield = (actual yield)/(theoretical yield) * 100 is the actual yield 1.57 g? and how do I find theoretical yield?

studydeep:

in the mean time.. im just going to repost to see if anyone can help with the theoretical yield part.. but if you are still willing to help just comment back on this post :)
