Write the ions present in a solution of na2co3. express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. offset subscripts and charges on each ion.

Respuesta :

Na₂CO₃ → 2Na⁺ + CO₃²⁻

CO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₂·H₂O + OH⁻

Na⁺, CO₃²⁻, HCO₃⁻, OH⁻

Answer : The ions present in a solution of [tex]Na_2CO_3[/tex] are, [tex]Na^+,CO_3^{2-}[/tex]

Explanation :

As we know that in an aqueous solution, the compound is dissociated into ions.

The given compound is, [tex]Na_2CO_3[/tex].

When [tex]Na_2CO_3[/tex] is dissolved in an aqueous solution then it dissociates into sodium ion [tex](Na^+)[/tex] and carbonate ion [tex](CO_3^{2-})[/tex].

The balanced chemical reaction will be :

[tex]Na_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)[/tex]

Hence, the ions present in a solution of [tex]Na_2CO_3[/tex] are, [tex]Na^+,CO_3^{2-}[/tex]
