net ionic equation of
Na2CO3+2HC2H3O2-->CO2+h2o+2Na2H3O2
Na2CO3 + 2HC2H3O2 --> CO2 + H2O + 2NaC2H3O2 (note my corrections to your original post)
2Na^+ + CO3^-2 + 2HC2H3O2 ==> CO2 + H2O + 2Na^+ + 2C2H3O2^-
Now cancel the ions common to each side to arrive at the net ionic equation. To be a little more accurate, place an (aq) after each ion or solution.
To write the net ionic equation for the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and acetic acid (HC2H3O2), we need to first write the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
Na2CO3 + 2HC2H3O2 → CO2 + H2O + 2NaC2H3O2
Now, let's break down the equation into its ionic forms:
Na2CO3 (aq) + 2HC2H3O2 (aq) → CO2 (g) + H2O (l) + 2NaC2H3O2 (aq)
Now, let's write the net ionic equation by removing the spectator ions. Spectator ions are the ions that are present on both sides of the equation and do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are the sodium ions (Na+) and the acetate ions (C2H3O2-):
Net ionic equation:
CO3^2- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) → CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Therefore, the net ionic equation for the reaction between sodium carbonate and acetic acid is:
CO3^2- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) → CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
To determine the net ionic equation, you will first need to write the balanced molecular equation for the given chemical reaction.
The balanced molecular equation for the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is:
Na2CO3 + 2HC2H3O2 --> CO2 + H2O + 2NaC2H3O2
Next, you need to determine the ionic compounds that are present in solution and the respective ions they dissociate into. In this reaction, sodium carbonate and acetic acid are both ionic compounds.
The dissociation of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) will produce two sodium ions (2Na+) and one carbonate ion (CO3^2-).
The dissociation of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) will yield one hydrogen ion (H+) and one acetate ion (C2H3O2^-).
Now, you need to remove the spectator ions, which are the ions that appear on both sides of the equation and do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the sodium ions (Na+) and acetate ions (C2H3O2^-) can be removed as they appear on both sides.
The net ionic equation for the reaction is:
CO3^2- + 2H+ --> CO2 + H2O
This equation represents the essential chemical change that occurs in the reaction, with only the reacting species involved.
