Question

NaCO3 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2. Determine the number of moles of HCl that are needed to produce 4.8 moles of CO2?

Answer 1

NaCO₃ + 2 HCl = 2 NaCl + H₂O + CO₂

2 moles HCl ----------> 1 mole CO₂
? moles ----------------> 4.8 moles CO₂

moles = 4.8 * 2 / 1

= 9.6 moles of HCl

hope this helps!
