Question
**Chemical Equation for Decomposition of Sodium Bicarbonate**

The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is illustrated below:

\[ 2 \text{NaHCO}_3(s) \rightarrow 1 \text{Na}_2\text{O}(s) + 2 \text{CO}_2(g) + 1 \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \]

Here is the detailed breakdown of the components and their coefficients in the reaction:

1. **Reactant:**
   - \( 2 \text{NaHCO}_3 (s) \) (Sodium Bicarbonate in solid form)

2. **Products:**
   - \( 1 \text{Na}_2\text{O}(s) \) (Sodium Oxide in solid form)
   - \( 2 \text{CO}_2(g) \) (Carbon Dioxide gas)
   - \( 1 \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \) (Water in gas form)

This chemical equation shows the conversion of two moles of sodium bicarbonate into one mole of sodium oxide, two moles of carbon dioxide, and one mole of water when heated. 

Balance the equation by ensuring the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side equals the number of atoms on the product side. Note that the coefficients (the numbers in front of chemical formulas) indicate the relative quantities of each substance involved in the reaction.

### Determining the Mass of Solid Product from Baking Soda

**Problem Statement:**
Given an initial mass of 1.70 g of baking soda, calculate the mass (in grams) of the solid product that should be produced for Equation 3 referenced above. 

**Instructions:**
- Provide your answer to two decimal places.
- Exclude units in your final answer.

**Atomic Mass Values to Use:**
- Sodium (Na): 22.99 g/mole
- Hydrogen (H): 1.008 g/mole
- Carbon (C): 12.011 g/mole
- Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mole

**Note:** Ensure to follow proper stoichiometric calculations to determine the exact mass of the solid product.
