I'll throw in some help for 50, since it seems to be difficult for most of you.

50. The amount of NaCl produced from 10.0 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate reacting with an excess of hydrochloric acid. Assume 75 % yield. Balanced equation and calculations required. (no work, no credit, no kidding)

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is the same as sodium bicarbonate, AKA Baking Soda.

10.0 g NaHCO3 needs to be converted to moles first. Then, you need to write out the chemical reaction of NaHCO3 with HCl. With these two pieces of information, you can calculate theoretical yield. Then multiply this by 75% (3/4) to get the answer.
