Chemical reaction: NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + H₂CO₃.

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂.

If amount of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) is 1 mol, then from from reaction we can calculate amount of carbon dioxide:

n (NaHCO₃). n (CO₂) = 1 : 1.

n (CO₂) = 1 mol.

At standard pressure and temperature:

V (CO₂) = n (CO₂) · Vm

V (CO₂) = 1 mol · 22,4 L/mol.

V (CO₂) = 22,4 L.
