Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of moles of Na2CO3 = 21.2g/106g/mol = 0.2 moles Na2CO3

Number of moles of HCl = 21.9g/36.5g/mol = 0.6 moles of HCl

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.2 × 2/1 = 0.4 moles of HCl

Hence Na2CO3 is the limiting reactant

Since there is 0.6 moles of HCl present, the number of moles of excess reagent=

0.6 moles - 0.4 moles = 0.2 moles of HCl

1 mole of Na2CO3 forms 1 mole of water

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 forms 0.2 moles of water

Number of molecules of water formed = 0.2 moles × 6.02 × 10^23 = 1.2 × 10^23 molecules of water

1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 1 mole of CO2

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 yields 0.2 moles of CO2

1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L

0.2 moles of CO2 occupies 0.2 × 22.4 = 4.48 L at STP

Hence;

V1=4.48 L

T1 = 273 K

P1= 760 mmHg

T2 = 27°C + 273 = 300 K

P2 = 760 mmHg

V2 =

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 760 × 4.48 × 300/760 × 273

V2= 4.9 L

The limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product formed in a reaction. When the limiting reactant is exhausted, the reaction stops.
