Question:

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is called baking soda because when heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, doughnuts, and bread.
(a) Calculate the volume (in liters) of CO2 produced by heating 5.0 g of NaHCO3 at 180°C and 1.3 atm.
(b) Ammonium bicarbonate (NH4 HCO3) has also been used for the same purpose. Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of using NH4HCO3 instead of NaHCO3 for baking.
