Title: verifying products?
Post by: 6stars on October 11, 2007, 12:50:26 AM

Can someone confirm the products of Na2CO3 + H30+  are carbonic acid and Na2O? if that is then i'm having a very hard time balancing it -_-

any comments are appreciated ty.

Na₂CO₃ + 2H₃O⁺ = H₂CO₃ + 2Na+ + 2H₂O
or
Na₂CO₃ + 2H₃O⁺ = CO₂ + 2Na+ + 3H₂O
net ionic form
CO₃^2- + 2H₃O⁺ = CO₂ + 3H₂O
