Calcium dihydrogen phosphate,
Ca(H2PO4)2, and sodium hydrogen
carbonate, NaHCO3, are ingredients of baking powder that
react with each other to produce CO2, which causes dough
or batter to rise: Ca(H2PO4)2(s) + NaHCO3(s) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) + CaHPO4(s) + Na2HPO4(s)[unbalanced] If the baking powder contains 31.0% NaHCO3 and 35.0% Ca(H2PO4)2 by mass: (a) How many moles of CO2 are produced from 6.85 gof baking powder? ____mol CO2 (b) If 1 mol of CO2 occupies 37.0 L at 350°F (a typical baking temperature), what volume of CO2 is produced from 6.85 g of baking powder? ____L |
