Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the reactants and products.
The reactants are sodium carbonate () and hydrochloric acid ().
The products of the reaction between a carbonate and an acid are a salt, water, and carbon dioxide. In this case, the salt formed is sodium chloride ().Write the unbalanced chemical equation.
Balance the chemical equation.
- Balance sodium (Na): There are 2 Na atoms on the left, so place a coefficient of 2 in front of on the right.
- Balance chlorine (Cl): Now there are 2 Cl atoms on the right, so place a coefficient of 2 in front of on the left.
- Check hydrogen (H), carbon (C), and oxygen (O):
- H: 2 atoms on the left (from ) and 2 atoms on the right (from ). Balanced.
- C: 1 atom on the left (from ) and 1 atom on the right (from ). Balanced.
- O: 3 atoms on the left (from ) and 1 atom (from ) + 2 atoms (from ) = 3 atoms on the right. Balanced.
The balanced chemical equation is:
