Answer: The products of the given chemical equation are [tex]HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-[/tex]
Explanation:
Protonation equation is defined as the equation in which protons get added in the substance.
The chemical equation for the protonation of carbonate ion in the presence of water follows:
[tex]CO_3^{2-}+H_2O\rightarrow HCO_3^-+OH^-[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of carbonate ion reacts with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of hydrogen carbonate ion and 1 mole of hydroxide ion
Hence, the products of the given chemical equation are [tex]HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-[/tex]
