ok so the question is:
Write the balanced chemical equation of the reaction of Na2CO3(aq) and HCl(aq).
i think i might have gotten the equation wrong but i put
Na2CO3 + HCl = HCO3 + NaCl
and now i dont know hot to balance it
HELP!!!...balancing an equation for lab report due tomorrow

hey the balanced equation should look like if Na2CO3 is solid
but in ur case it is aquous which affect the overall reaction and it should rather look like:
Make sense?"? Hopefully it helps,,
Code: Select all
2HCl + Na2CO3 (s) = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
Code: Select all
Na2CO3 (aq) + HCl (aq) = NaHCO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq)
