23. Chemistry of the Nonmetals / Peroxide and Superoxide Reactions / Problem 2

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of sodium peroxide with carbon dioxide gas to form sodium carbonate and oxygen.

A

2NaO(s) + CO₂(g) → Na₂CO₃(s) + O₂(g)

B

2Na₂O₂(s) + 2CO₂(g) → 2Na₂CO₃(s) + O₂(g)

C

10Na₂O₂(s) + 10CO₂(g) → 10Na₂CO₃(s) + 5O₂(g)

D

2Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) + 2CO₂(g) → 2NaHCO₃(s) + O₂(g)
