Sodium bicarbonate $\left(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\right)$ is called baking soda because when heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, doughnuts, and bread. (a) Calculate the volume (in liters) of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ produced by heating $5.0 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$ at $180^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 1.3 atm. (b) Ammonium bicarbonate $\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{HCO}_{3}\right)$ has also been used for the same purpose. Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of using $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{HCO}_{3}$ instead of $\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$ for baking.

Key Concepts

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves calculating the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. This concept is essential for converting mass to moles, using balanced equations to determine the amounts produced or required, and ensuring that reactions are properly scaled for both laboratory and industrial processes.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law is an equation that links the pressure, volume, temperature, and moles of a gas. It is fundamental in determining the behavior of gases under various conditions and is widely used in calculating the volume of a gas produced or consumed in a reaction, assuming ideal behavior.

Thermal Decomposition

Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down into smaller components when heated. This process is important for understanding how certain compounds can release gases and other products upon heating, and it is key in industries such as food production and materials synthesis.

Reagent Selection in Applied Chemistry

Reagent selection involves choosing the most appropriate chemical for a specific application by considering factors such as efficiency, byproducts, safety, cost, and suitability for the intended use. This concept is critical for optimizing processes and ensuring that alternative chemicals meet the desired performance criteria in various applications.
