write an ionic equation for the reaction of nitric v acid and solid carbonate​

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]CO3^{2-}[/tex] + [tex]2H3O^{+}[/tex] => [tex]2H2O[/tex] + [tex]CO2[/tex]

Explanation:

Nitric acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water.

Sodium carbonate + nitric acid  => sodium nitrate + water + carbon dioxide

2HNO3  +  Na2O3  => 2NaNO3 + CO2 + H2O

So the net ionic equation is as follows:

[tex]CO3^{2-}[/tex] + [tex]2H3O^{+}[/tex] => [tex]2H2O[/tex] + [tex]CO2[/tex]

The sodium ion and the nitrate ions are not involved in the net equation because they are not changed in the reaction.
