Question

Balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of solid sodium carbonate

Answer 1

CO2 + 2 NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A balanced equation is defined as the equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

Chemical formula of sodium carbonate is
`Na_(2)CO_(3)` and it is formed by chemical reaction between sodium, carbon and oxygen atom as follows.

`Na(s) + C(s) + O2(g) \rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)`

To balance this chemical equation we multiply Na by 2 and
`O_(2)` by
`(3)/(2)` on the reactant side.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

`2Na(s) + C(s) + (3)/(2)O2(g) \rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)`
