The decomposition of baking soda is represented by the following thermochemical equation:
2 NaHCO3 (s) + 129 kJ →Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

Calculate the amount of heat required to decompose 1.28 mol of baking soda (NaHCO3). Round to the nearest hundredth.

Alright, to calculate the amount of heat required to decompose 1.28 mol of baking soda (NaHCO3) using the given thermochemical equation:

2 NaHCO3 (s) + 129 kJ → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

We can set up a proportion to find out how much heat is required for 1.28 mol of NaHCO3:

1.28 mol NaHCO3 / 2 mol NaHCO3 = x kJ / 129 kJ

Solving for x:

x = 1.28 mol * 129 kJ / 2 mol

x = 165.12 kJ / 2

x = 82.56 kJ

So, approximately 82.56 kJ of heat is required to decompose 1.28 mol of baking soda.
