`2NaHCO_(3)overset(Delta)rarrNa_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)Ouparrow(g)+CO_(2)uparrow(g) n_(CO_(2))"produce"=(n_(NaHCO_(3)))/(2)`
mole a `(W_(CO_(2)))/(44)=(a)/(2)`
`Na_(2)CO_(3)(Delta)rarrx W_(CO_(2))"produce"=22a`
M.Wt. `NaHCO_(3)=84, M.Wt. Na_(2)CO_(3)=106 n_(H_(2)O)=(n_("NaHCO_(3)))/(2)`
`rArrH_(2)O` remove as vapour during heating along with `CO_(2)` give mass loss Total mass loss =22a+9a=31a
along with `CO_(2)` give mass loss
`% "loss in mass"=(31axx100)/(axx84xxaxx106)=(31)/(190)xx100=16.3%`
