Data Sheet $-$ Exp $1$ Determining the Ideal Gas Constant

Write balanced chemical equations $($include all physical states$)$ for the decomposition each salt to its corresponding metal oxide.

$NaHC{O}_3$

$N{a}_{2}C{O}_3$

$A{l}_2(C{O}_3{)}_3$

Sample calculations for $"n"$ for the gases formed from the decomposition of these compounds:

$NaHC{O}_3$

$a{a}_{2}C{O}_3$

$(C{O}_3{)}_3$

the average for all three gas constants obtained, Ideal Gas Constant $($show ificant figures$)($show work$).$

ure value for the Ideal Gas Constant is $0\mathrm{.}08206\frac{\text{a}\text{t}\text{m}L}{\text{m}\text{o}\text{l}\text{e}\text{s}K}.$

$y$ the value calculated using experimental data is different from the literatur reasons specific to this experiment $($do not blame experimental or human
