What is the ionic and net ionic equation for Na2CO3 + 2 HNO3 -> 2 NaNO3 + H2O + CO2 (g) This is what i have so far... Na2(aq)+CO3+H+NO3 -> Na+ NO3+ H2O(l)+CO2(g)... i don't know what to do!!!

  ionic: Na++CO3-2+H++NO3>sup>- -> Na++ NO3-+ H2O(l)+CO2 Net ionic. Notice you have Na ions on each side, NO3 ions on each side, so they are spectator ions. CO3-2+H+ -> H2O(l)+CO2
