I did the test and the answer is C.
Answer:
CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
According to this question, sodium carbonate reacts with sulfuric acid to form aqueous sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide and water. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:
Na2CO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
- Next, split compounds that are aqueous into ions.
2Na+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
- Next, we cancel out the spectator ions, which are ions that remain the same in the reactants and products side of a chemical reaction. The spectator ions in this equation are 2Na+(aq) and SO42-(aq).
CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
- Hence, the balanced ionic equation is as follows:
CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
The name given to these electrons are that they are valence electrons or binding electrons as these are directly involved in chemical Bonding and allow for different compounds to be made.
