How many moles of carbondioxide are produced when 0.2mol of sodium carbonate react with excess hydrovhloric acid

0.2 moles of CO₂  are produced

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of CO₂ produced = ?

Moles of Na₂CO₃ react = 0.2 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl       →     2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with Na₂CO₃ .

                   Na₂CO₃          :             CO₂

                       1                  :               1

                    0.2                :             0.2

Thus, 0.2 moles of CO₂  are produced.

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
