Baking soda (NaHCO3) decomposes when it is heated according to the equation below. How many kilojoules of heat are required to decompose 1.96 mol NaHCO 3(s)?

2NaHCO 3(s) + 129 kJ → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)

A. 129 kJ

B. 2.53 × 102 kJ

C. 258 kJ

D. 126 kJ

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.

Polyethylene is a strong synthetic polymer that can be used to make toys and bottles. this makes plastics which are important also to people but sometimes it lead to harmful environmental effects such as global warming if these plastics are burned.
