Question: what will sodium decompose into when heated?

Materials:
Sodium bicarbonate
Bunsen burner
Crucible and lid
Tongs
scale
Ceramic fiber pad
Striker
Stop watch
Pipe stem triangle
Ring stand
Ring clamp
Procedure:
First The crucible was weighed and recorded for mass. Then you add 2.32 grams of sodium bicarbonate that was measured using a balance and placed in the crucible. The lid was placed on top of the crucible. The crucible was placed above the burner then The burner was ignited, and the flame was adjusted to obtain a blue cone. The crucible was heated using the burner for 7 minutes. The flame was turned off, and the crucible was allowed to cool down to room temperature. The crucible was weighed …show more content…

conclusion: The results show that when sodium bicarbonate is heated, it decomposes to form sodium carbonate (1.51g), and carbon dioxide gas. This is most likely because the percent yield was only 3.1% off. Sodium carbonate is known to be a solid crystal substance which agrees with the crystal structure substance formed on the crucible furthering the idea that sodium carbonate actually formed. We could have also tested this by dropping water onto the substances produced to see if it dissolves or not since sodium carbonate dissolves in water. In this experiment NaHCO3 decomposes into Na2CO3, CO2 and H2O when heated. At the particle level, NaHCO3 is composed of sodium ions, bicarbonate ions (HCO3-), and water molecules (H2O). When heat is applied to NaHCO3, the thermal energy breaks the bonds between the bicarbonate ion and the hydrogen ion. This causes the formation of carbonic acid (H2CO3). The resulting Na2CO3 is formed from the remaining sodium ion and the carbonate ion (CO3^2-), which is produced from the decomposition of the bicarbonate

Some compounds have very distinctive colors when burned, such as Potassium, which is a white/purple, and sodium, which is a deep red hue. The first step for a flame test is to gather the needed materials. These include beakers, distilled water, the unknown substance, a Bunsen burner, matches, a nichrome wire, tubing to connect the gas line to the Bunsen burner, goggles, and known compounds to compare with. The first step is to make aqueous solutions of all the substances to be tested. This is done by adding .5

Alka-Seltzer is a medical drug that works as a pain reliever and an antacid. The pain reliever used is aspirin and the antacid used is baking soda. When sodium bicarbonate dissolves in water it splits apart into sodium and bicarbonate ions. The bicarbonates reacts with hydrogen ions from citric acid to form carbon dioxide gas and water. This is how the bubbles are made.

Then more roasting occurred when the crucible was placed into a ceramic triangle for the Bunsen burner to continue its burning for an additional 90 minutes. Once the burning was officially over, the crucible was placed onto a ceramic tile to cool off. Next the charcoal and copper material were poured onto a paper towel and were separated from carefully distinguishing them one from the other. Then comparisons were down through analysis of the copper (II) oxide smelted.

In the lab, the theoretical yield of CO2 was calculated by using the mass of the Alka-Seltzer (in Part A) and the mass of the anti-acid (Part B) were multiplied by the mole ratios that were involved in the reaction equation for each reaction and they were also divided by the molar mass of each substance. From the balanced chemical equations that were included in the calculation portion, the limiting reactant in part A was determined to be citric acid. The limiting reactant in part B was determined to be HCl because in the reaction, the HCl would ran out before the calcium carbonate. The stoichiometry would not have been different when converting between the different states of matter because the state is a measure of kinetic energy, and not

The items that were massed were the evaporating dish, watch glass, and NaCO3. The materials were massed once before and once after being heated in the drying oven. The mass of the evaporating Dish before was 46.57 g; while after being heating was 60.15 g. The mass of the watch glass before was 57.97 g and after was 48.75g. There were two masses taken for the substance NaHCO3- one with the evaporating dish and one without, subtracted out after the lab was concluded. The mass of the substance with the dish was 48.79 g before and 62.33 g after; meanwhile, the mass of the substance without the dish was 2.22 g before and 2.18 g after. The mass of the NaHCO3 had changed after the reaction occurred along with after it was placed on the hot plate and being in the drying oven.

Did you know you can turn sodium acetate into “hot ice”? It is exactly what happens within a chemical heating pack! Inside that pack, along with water, is a solution that has more sodium acetate that can normally be dissolved at room temperature. Sodium acetate is the sodium salt of acetic acid. This solution is called a saturated solution because it contains the maximum amount of sodium acetate that can be dissolved without heating the solution (1).

The Effects of Acetic acid on Sodium Bicarbonate Introduction: Acids and bases are one of the main components of chemistry. They are both substances with unique chemical properties and can use them to neutralize each other. An acid is any substance that produces positively charged hydrogen ions when reacting to a solution containing water. However, a base is a substance that neutralises positively charged hydrogen atoms, which is the reason why an acid and base always form a salt and a water, In this experiment, sodium bicarbonate ( a base) will be combined with vinegar ( an acetic acid) to form Co2 bubbles.

Decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated to 900°C at 101.325 kPa. Heating calcium carbonate to 900°C under atmospheric pressure decomposes into quicklime and carbon dioxide (industrial CO2 production): (reaction conditions are high temperature ) Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid and is effervescent , producing calcium chloride , water and carbon dioxide (CO2 produced in the laboratory): Water mixed with CaCO3 will be fed with excess carbon dioxide and calcium bicarbonate solution will be formed. Calcium Carbonate reacts with a carbonate solution (rainwater) to produce calcium bicarbonate. To the turbid lime water, CO2 was introduced and the precipitate disappeared. The principle of these phenomena is:
