Answer:
4.4 g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
NaHCO3 (aq) + CH3COOH (aq) ----> CO2 (g) + H2O (l) + CH3COONa (aq)
Mass of baking soda - 4.5 g
Molar mass of NaHCO3 = 84.007 g/mol
Number of moles of baking soda= 4.5 g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0536 moles
If 1 mole of NaHCO3 yields 1 mole of CH3COONa
0.0536 moles of NaHCO3 also yields 0.0536 moles moles of CH3COONa
Hence;
Theoretical yield of CH3COONa = 0.0536 moles * 82.0343 g/mol = 4.4 g
