Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between aqueous sodium carbonate and aqueous nitric acid.

2HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

Explanation:

This question is asking to write and balance an equation between between aqueous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and aqueous nitric acid (HNO3). The equation is as follows:

HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

However, this equation is not balanced as the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation. To balance the equation, one will make use of coefficients as follows:

2HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
