Answer:
in the presence of water H2O
Na2CO3 (S) --> 2Na+ (aq)+ (CO3)2-(aq)
One mole of sodium carbonate produces two moles of Na+ ions
Therefore 0.207 moles produces 0.414 moles of Na+ ions
= 0.414 moles of Na+ ions
Explanation:
In water
Na2CO3 --> 2Na+ (aq)+ (CO3)2-(aq)
In a limited reaction, the carbonate ion reacts with the water molecules as follows
(CO3)2-(aq) + H2O←→HCO3-(aq) + OH-(aq)
sodium carbonate or soda ash dissolves in water to give 2 sodium cations and one carbonate anion
