HCL is slowly added to aqueous Na2CO3 forming NaCl, H2O, and CO2. Follow the steps above to write a balanced equation for this reaction.

The balanced equation is as below

Na2CO3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2O + CO2

Explanation

step 1 : write the unbalanced chemical equation

that is Na2CO3 + HCl→ NaCl + H2O + CO2

Step 2: change the coefficient (number in front of chemical formula) to make sure the number of atoms of an element are the same in both side.

By adding 2 in front of HCl and in front of NaCl balance the equation.

Therefore the balanced equation is as below

Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + Co2
