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

Answer:

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

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
