Hi,
Q.2 Here,
2NaHCO3 => Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
Sodium carbonate is stable and does not break on heating.
Wt. lost = Wt. of carbon dioxide produced = 0.248 gm
Now, calculate moles of carbon dioxide produced.
Now, moles of sodium hydrogencarbonate present = 2*moles
of carbon dioxide.
Calculate wt. of sodium hydrogencarbonate. And, then you can get the composition of the mixture.
