Question

Balanced equation for heating solid sodium bicarbonate site:socratic.Org

Answer 1

Explanation:

Molecular equation

NaHCO3+HNO3→NaNO3+CO2+H2O

Ionic equation

Na++HCO-3+H++NO-3→Na++NO-3+CO2+H2O

Net ionic equation

Here, we cancel the ions that appear on each side of the equation.

Na++HCO-3+H++NO-3→Na++NO-3+CO2+H2O

This gives the net ionic equation

HCO-3+H+→CO2+H2O

Answer 2

2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)
