Question

Calcium carbonate is formed as a precipitate when sodium carbonate solution is mixed with calcium nitrate solution. Write the symbolic equation for the reaction

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given:

Calcium carbonate is formed as a precipitate when Sodium Carbonate reacts with Calcium Nitrate Solution.

That is,

Na2Co3 + Ca(NO3)2 → 2 NaNO3 + CaCO3 ↓

Answer 2

Given :-

Calcium carbonate is formed as a precipitate when sodium carbonate solution is mixed with calcium nitrate solution.

Equation for the above reaction :-

$\tt{Ca(NO_3)_2(aq.)+Na_2CO_3(aq.) \longrightarrow CaCO_3(s)\downarrow+2NaNO_3(aq.)}$

This is a precipitation reaction: $\tt{CaCO_3}$ is the formed precipitate.

When water solutions of calcium nitrate and sodium carbonate are mixed, calcium carbonate precipitates from the solution while the other product, sodium nitrate, remains dissolved. CaCO₃ is solid the precipitate from the solution.

It is also a double displacement reaction.
