It loses two electrons to become an ion.

(As Neutrons carry no charge changing them would not effect the atom so that's how you know it's the electron :) )

What is the balanced symbol equation for magnesium chloride + sodium carbonate --> magnesium carbonate + sodium chloride
Semenov [28]

Answer:

MgCl₂+ Na₂CO₃ ==> MgCO₃ + NaCl

From a quick observation

You see that the right hand side of the eqn is deficient of Sodium and Chlorine

Simply Add a Coefficient of 2 to NaCl to balance it with the left.

Your answer now becomes

MgCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ ==> MgCO₃ + 2NaCl.✅

Calculate the amount in grams of Na2CO3 needed in a reaction with HCl to produce 120g NaCl?
klemol [59]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as :

Na2CO3<span> + 2HCl === 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
</span>
We are given the amount of NaCl to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:

120 g NaCl ( 1 mol / 58.44 g) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaCl)( 105.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1108.82 g Na2CO3 needed
