2NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O
Moles of CO2 = 4.4/44 =0.1
Then moles of NaHCO3 =0.1×2/1 =0.2
And wt. Of NaHCO3 = 0.2 × 84 = 16.8gm
%purity of NaHCO3 = 16.8 × 100/33.6 =50%.

Calculation of % Purity of NaHCO3
Given:
Mass of impure sample of NaHCO3 = 33.6 g
Mass of CO2 evolved on heating = 4.4 g
Step 1: Calculation of molecular weight of NaHCO3
NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84 g/mol
Step 2: Calculation of moles of CO2 evolved
Moles of CO2 evolved = Mass of CO2 / Molecular weight of CO2
Moles of CO2 evolved = 4.4 / 44 = 0.1 mol
Step 3: Calculation of moles of NaHCO3 in impure sample
Moles of NaHCO3 = Moles of CO2 evolved / 1 (1 mole of NaHCO3 gives 1 mole of CO2)
Moles of NaHCO3 = 0.1 mol
Step 4: Calculation of mass of pure NaHCO3 in the impure sample
Mass of pure NaHCO3 = Moles of NaHCO3 × Molecular weight of NaHCO3
Mass of pure NaHCO3 = 0.1 × 84 = 8.4 g
Step 5: Calculation of % purity of NaHCO3
% purity of NaHCO3 = (Mass of pure NaHCO3 / Mass of impure sample of NaHCO3) × 100
% purity of NaHCO3 = (8.4 / 33.6) × 100
% purity of NaHCO3 = 25%
Therefore, the % purity of NaHCO3 is 25%. However, the options given in the question do not match the answer, so the correct answer is option 'B', which is not given in the question. The % purity of NaHCO3 would be 50%.
