Chemistry (Copy the purpose and data table in your notebook.) Pre Lab Questions: 1.

Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Hint: Look at the purpose. Remember, an equation is (reactants) ! (products) 2. Using your balanced equation, how many moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) should be produced when 1 mole hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used? 3. Using your balanced equation, how many moles of baking soda (NaHCO3) are needed to produce 1 mole salt (NaCl)? Post Lab Questions: 4. Using the number of moles of baking soda for test tube #1, how many moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) would you EXPECT to be produced? Hint: use your balanced equation. 5. Is this number the same or different from the number of moles ACTUALLY produced? What could have caused this?? Hint: think about what happened during the lab. 6. Estimate the number of moles of carbon dioxide bubbles formed by using the number of moles of baking soda for test tube #1.
