I don't need a full answer, just an idea of how to solve (maybe equations?) A 3.24-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an experiment.

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

In this experiment, carbon dioxide and water vapors combine to form H2CO3. After decomposition, the Na2CO3 had a mass of 2.19 grams.

A. Determine the mass of the H2CO3 produced.
B. Calculate the percentage yield of H2CO3 for the reaction. Show your work or
describe the calculation process in detail.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%

i think slash and
