    Sodium bicarbonate on heating decomposes to form sodium carbonate, \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]and water. If 0.2 moles of sodium bicarbonate is completely decomposed, how many moles of sodium carbonate is formed?

    A)  0.1     

    B)  0.2

    C)  0.05          

    D)  0.025

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[\underset{2\,\text{mol}}{\mathop{2NaHC{{O}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{1\,\text{mol}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\] \[\because \] \[\text{2 mol}\,\text{NaHC}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]on decomposition gives \[\text{=1}\,\text{mol}\,\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\text{0}\text{.2 mol}\,\text{NaHC}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] on decomposition will give \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.2\] \[\text{=}\,\text{0}\text{.1}\,\text{mol}\,\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]
