    The mass of bismuth carbonate that decomposed is 0.445 g

    calculation

    write the equation for reaction

    that is Bi2 (CO3) 3 → Bi2O3 + 3 CO2

    find the moles of of CO2 formed

    At STP 1 mole of a gas = 22.4 L

    what about 50 Ml

    convert the Ml to Liters = 50/1000 = 0.05 L

    moles of CO2 formed is therefore = 1 mole x 0.05 L/22.4 l = 2.232 x10^-3 moles

    by use of reacting ratio between Bi (CO3) 3 to CO2 which is 1:3 the moles of Bi (CO3) 3 is = 2.232 x10^-3 x1/3 = 0.744 x10^-4 moles of Bi (CO3) 3

    mass of Bi (CO3) 3 = molar mass x number of moles

    mass = 0.744 x10^-4 moles x 597.99 g/mol = 0.445 grams
