Data Processing: * Note: I chose the results for Trial 2 in order to identify the products of a decomposition reaction of Sodium hydrogen carbonate. Calculations: 1. Experimental Mass of Salt: | Calculation(Mass Crucible + Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (after 4th heating) ) - (Mass Clean, Dry Crucible) 16.95 - 13.82 3.13 | Error Calculation 0.01g+ 0.01g= 0.02g0.02/3.13 100 = 0.64 % | ∴ The Experimental mass of the salt = 3.13 ± 0.02 g | From the theory we can expect that NaHCO3 will break up into eitherNa2O, NaOH orNa2CO3, hence the corresponding possible equations and calculations are shown below: 1 2NaHCO3(s)→Na2O(s) +CO2(g)+ H2O(l) Calculation | Error Calculation | Moles of : NaHCO35g / 84.01 = 0.06 mol | ± 0.01 | Moles of : Na2ONaHCO3: Na2O2 : 1∴ 0.06 × 0.5 = 0.03 mol | ± 0.02 | Mass of : Na2OMass = moles Mr0.03 × 61.98 = 1.86 g | | ∴ The Theoretical mass of Na2O= 1.86 ±0.02 g / 0.64 % | 2NaHCO3(s)→NaOH(s) +CO2(g) Calculation | Error Calculation | Moles of : NaHCO35g / 84.01 = 0.06
