Question

Solid sodium bicarbonate is added to a solution of hydrochloric acid creating carbon

Answer 1

The balanced molecular equation for the reaction between solid sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, water  and aqueous solution of sodium chloride is

NaHCO₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + NaCl(aq)

The balanced equation can be written as follow:

Sodium bicarbonate => NaHCO₃

Hydrochloric acid => HCl

Carbon dioxide => CO₂

Water => H₂O

Sodium chloride => NaCl

Sodium bicarbonate + Hydrochloric acid  —> Carbon dioxide + Water + Sodium chloride

NaHCO₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + NaCl(aq)

The equation above is balanced since the number of the different atoms of the elements present on both sides are equal.
