I am sure abt his question as my teacher had given me this one it is not like the previous one..
Here it starts
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
9.3g of impure Sodium bicarbonate[NaHCO3] was heated and 2.2g of CO2 was formed.
Calculate % purity of NAHCO3
pls hepl!!!

molar mass or CO2 is 12+2*16=44 so 2.2/44=0.05 moles of CO2 so .05 moles of NAHCO3. 1 mol of NaHCO3 weighs 23+1+60=84 and 0.5 moles weighs 0.05*84=4.2g

Purity =4.2/9.3=4.5=45%

oops sorry
i typed the question wrong again..
it is 2.24g not 2.2
sry a silly mistake.
cant understand my own handwritting..
