One Way of Obtaining Pure Sodium Carbonate Is Through the Decomposition

Question 122

Multiple Choice

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na 3(CO3) (HCO3) ×\times 2H2O, as shown in the following reaction: 2Na3(CO3) (HCO3) \rarr 2H2O(s) \rarr 3Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + 5H2O(g)
When 15 metric tons (1 * 103 kg) of trona is decomposed, 11 metric tons of Na2CO3 is recovered. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
(1 metric ton = 103 kg)


A) 13%
