Question

*PLEASE HELP*

Write the word equation and the balanced symbol equation for the following reactions

1.Sulfuric acid reacting with sodium carbonate
2.Hydrochloric acid reacting with magnesium hydrogencarbonate

Answer 1

1. H₂SO₄ + Na₂CO₃ ⇒ Na₂SO₄ + H₂O + CO₂

sulfuric acid + sodium carbonate ⇒ sodium sulfate + water + carbon dioxide

2. 2 HCl + Mg(HCO₃)₂ ⇒ MgCl₂ + 2 H₂O + 2 CO₂

hydrochloric acid + magnesium hydrogencarbonate ⇒ magnesium chloride + water + carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Sulfuric acid is H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is Na₂CO₃.

H₂SO₄ + Na₂CO₃ ⇒ Na₂SO₄ + H₂O + CO₂

sulfuric acid + sodium carbonate ⇒ sodium sulfate + water + carbon dioxide

2. Hydrochloric acid is HCl. Magnesium hydrogencarbonate is Mg(HCO₃)₂.

2 HCl + Mg(HCO₃)₂ ⇒ MgCl₂ + 2 H₂O + 2 CO₂

hydrochloric acid + magnesium hydrogencarbonate ⇒ magnesium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
