Na2(CO3) + C2H4O2 =(arrow thing)= CO2 + Na(CO3) + H2O
Thank you!

Re: Equation Help
This equation is impossible because Na(CO3) does not exists.Moa'vu'Kaal wrote:Ok I need help with this equation...I tried the online balancer but it kept coming out with negatives..Here's the equation

You need NaC2H3O2 instead:
Na2(CO3) + 2 C2H4O2 = CO2 + 2 NaC2H3O2 + H2O
