A student strоngly heаts а 4.20 g sаmple оf pure sоdium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda), which decomposes completely according to: 2NaHCO3​(s) → Na2​CO3​(s) + H2​O(g) + CO2​(g) The two gaseous products are captured together in a sealed, rigid container. Conditions are shown below; the temperature is high enough that the water remains a vapor. Data Table Quantity Value Mass of NaHCO3 decomposed 4.20 g Volume of rigid container 5.00 L Temperature 200. °C Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and the number of moles of H2O vapor produced. Calculate the mass of solid Na2CO3 produced. Calculate the total pressure inside the container. Calculate the mole fraction of CO2 and its partial pressure in the container. The two gases are at the same temperature. Using kinetic molecular theory, compare the average kinetic energies of the CO2 and H2O molecules, and use the relationship KE = ½mv2 to explain which gas has the greater average molecular speed.
