The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.
Answer:
2.19 x 10^-12.
Explanation:-
The relation between Ka and Kb for an acid and it's conjugate base is
Ka x Kb = Kw where Kw = ionic product of water.
So Kb = 10^-14 / (4.57 x 10 ^ -3)
= 2.19 x 10^-12
The balanced equation :
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O
Required
The balanced equation
Solution
Maybe the equation should be like this :
NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Give a coefficient
NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O
Make an equation
Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2
H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2
C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2
The equation becomes :
NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
