The following reaction shows sodium carbonate reacting with calcium hydroxide. Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

How many grams of NaOH are produced from 20.0 grams of Na2CO3?

(Molar mass of Na = 22.989 g/mol, C = 12.01 g/mol, O = 15.999 g/mol, Ca = 40.078 g/mol, H = 1.008 g/mol) (5 points)

a. 12.2 grams
b. 15.1 grams
c. 24.4 grams
d. 30.2 grams

15.1 g NaOH

Explanation:

First we convert grams of Na₂CO₃ into moles, using its molar mass:

Molar Mass of Na₂CO₃ = 105.985 g/mol

Then we convert moles of Na₂CO₃ into moles of NaOH, keeping in mind the stoichiometry of the reaction:

Finally we convert NaOH moles into grams, using its molar mass:

Molar Mass of NaOH = 39.996 g/mol

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation
