When dissolved in water it produces carbon dioxide
Khco3+h2o
First off, it's POTASSIUM. (K) The formula would be: KHCO3
More commonly known as potassium bicarbonate KHCO3
In the experiment, excess HCl was added to the solution containing KHCO3. This ensured that all of the KHCO3 would react completely, as any unreacted KHCO3 would still be neutralized by the excess HCl.
The mass of KCl recovered is less than the starting mass of KHCO3 because during the chemical reaction between KHCO3 and HCl to form KCl, CO2 gas is evolved. Some of the starting mass of KHCO3 is lost as gas during the reaction, leading to a lower mass of the end product (KCl) compared to the original mass of KHCO3.
Yes, potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) is soluble in water. It dissolves readily to form a clear solution.
The molar mass of KHCO3 is 100.12 g/mol. This means that 100 grams of KHCO3 contains 39.1 grams of potassium (K) ions.
Potassium hydrogencarbonate
It is KHCO3
The moles of KHCO3 and KCl produced should be the same because they are stoichiometrically related in the chemical reaction that produces them. For every mole of KHCO3 that reacts, it produces one mole of KCl. This means that the number of moles of KHCO3 consumed is equal to the number of moles of KCl produced in the reaction.
Khco3 + hno3 --> kno3 + co2 + h2o All capitals!
