Answer to Problem 26E
The stoichiometry concept map is shown below.
The mass of KHCO3 decomposed is 2.282 g.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that 255 mL of carbon dioxide is produced at STP.
The given chemical reaction is stated below.
KHCO3(s)→K2CO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)…(1)
The stoichiometry concept map is shown below.
Figure 1
The chemical reaction (1) should be balanced first to calculate the mass of KHCO3 decomposed.
The number of potassium atom and the hydrogen atom are not equal on both sides. A coefficient of 2 is added in front of KHCO3 to balance the chemical reaction.
The balanced equation is stated below.
2KHCO3(s)→K2CO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)…(2)
The equation (2) shows that 2 mole of KHCO3 is consumed to form 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.
At STP the relation between KHCO3 and carbon dioxide gas is shown below.
1 mole of KHCO3=22.4 L CO2
Therefore, the number of moles of KHCO3 is calculated as shown below.
Number of moles of KHCO3=255 mL CO2×1 L1000 mL×1 mol CO222.4 L CO2×2 mol KHCO31 mol CO2=0.02276 mol KHCO3≈0.0228 mol KHCO3
The molar mass of potassium is 39.10 g mol−1.
The molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g mol−1.
The molar mass of hydrogen is 1.01 g mol−1.
The molar mass of carbon is 12.01 g mol−1.
Total molar mass of KHCO3=(Molar mass of K+Molar mass of H+Molar mass of C+(3×Molar mass of O))=39.10 g mol−1+1.01 g mol−1+12.01 g mol−1+(3×16.00 g mol−1)=39.10 g mol−1+1.01 g mol−1+12.01 g mol−1+48.00 g mol−1=100.12 g mol−1 The mass of KHCO3 gas is calculated from the relation as shown below.
1 mol=Molar mass of KHCO31 mol=100.12 g of KHCO3
The number of moles of KHCO3 is 0.0228 mol.
The mass for 0.0228 mol of KHCO3 is calculated as shown below.
Mass of KHCO3=0.0228 mol×100.12 g KHCO31 mol KHCO3=2.282 g KHCO3
Therefore, the mass of KHCO3 is 2.282 g.
The stoichiometry concept map is shown in Figure 1. The mass of KHCO3 decomposed is 2.282 g.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stoichiometry concept map is to be drawn and the mass of the K2CO3 produced is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Stoichiometry measures the amount of reactant and product consumed or formed in a chemical reaction. It gives the relationship between the reactants and products. Stoichiometry concept maps are used to determine the relation of reactant and product in terms of stoichiometry.

Answer to Problem 26E
The stoichiometry map is shown below.
The mass of K2CO3 produced is 1.57 g.
Explanation of Solution
The stoichiometry concept mass is shown below.
Figure 1
The number of potassium atom and the hydrogen atom are not equal on both sides. A coefficient of 2 is added in front of KHCO3 to balance the chemical reaction.
The balanced equation is stated below.
2KHCO3(s)→K2CO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)…(2)
The equation (2) shows that 2 mole of KHCO3 is consumed to form 1 mole of K2CO3.
The molar mass of KHCO3 is calculated in part (a) is 100.12 g mol−1.
The mass calculated of KHCO3 in part (a) is 2.282 g.
The number of moles of K2CO3 is calculated as shown below.
Number of moles of K2CO3=2.282 g KHCO3×1 mol KHCO3100.12 g KHCO3×1 mol K2CO32 mol K2CO3=0.01139 mol≈0.0114 mol
The molar mass of potassium is 39.10 g mol−1.
The molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g mol−1.
The molar mass of carbon is 12.01 g mol−1.
Total molar mass of K2CO3=((2×Molar mass of K)+Molar mass of C+(3×Molar mass of O))=(2×39.10 g mol−1)+12.01 g mol−1+(3×16.00 g mol−1)=78.20 g mol−1+12.01 g mol−1+48.00 g mol−1=138.21 g mol−1
The mass of K2CO3 gas is calculated from the relation as shown below.
1 mol=Molar mass of K2CO31 mol=138.21 g of K2CO3
The number of moles of K2CO3 is 0.0114 mol.
The mass for 0.0114 mol of K2CO3 is calculated as shown below.
Mass of K2CO3=0.0114 mol×138.21 g K2CO31 mol K2CO3=1.57 g K2CO3
Therefore, the mass of K2CO3 is 1.57 g.
The mass of K2CO3 produced after the reaction is 1.57 g.
