A 10 mg effervescent tablet containing sodium bicarbonate and oxalic acid releases 0.25 ~mL of CO ₂ at T =298.15 ~K and P =1 bar. If molar volume of CO ₂ is 25.0 ~L under such condition, what is the percentage of sodium bicarbonate in each tablet? [Molar mass of . NaHCO ₃=84 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ ]
Options
- A0.84
- B33.6
- C16.8
- D8.4
Correct answer
D. 8.4
Step-by-step solution
2 NaHCO ₃+ H ₂ C ₂ O ₄ Na ₂ C ₂ O ₄+2 CO ₂+2 H ₂ O Moles of CO ₂ evolved = 0.25 25 10³ =10⁻⁵ aligned & Moles of NaHCO ₃=10⁻⁵ Mass of NaHCO ₃ &=84 10⁻⁵ ~g &=0.84 10⁻³ ~g =0.84 mg aligned % by weight = 100=8.4 %
