Baking Powder Is Made Up of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate and Calcium

Baking powder is made up of sodium hydrogen carbonate and calcium hydrogen phosphate. When baking powder is wet, these components react to produce carbon dioxide. The equation for this reaction is given below.NaHCO₃(aq) + CaHPO₄(aq) $\rarr$ NaCaPO₄(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) Assuming all of the carbon dioxide was released as a gas, how many liters of CO₂(g) would be formed at room temperature from 4.00 g of NaHCO₃ and excess CaHPO₄

A) Approximately 1.16 liters
B) Approximately 1.36 liters
C) Approximately 1.56 liters
D) Approximately 1.76 liters
E) None of the above
