Hello♥️

2HCl + Na2CO3 --> 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

When we react sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid they will react and neutralize each other, in a neutralization reaction. That is so because sodium Carbonate is a base and HCl is an acid.

But if we try to react Sodium carbonate with NaOH then no reaction will take place as both are base!

So if the reaction is occuring it means that it's HCl but if the reaction is not occuring it means that it's NaOH with which we are trying to react Na2CO3 (Sodium carbonate).

I hope this is helpful ♥️

sanjeetmanhas01: yeah.. welcome!!.... all we can do is wait for another answer! ☺️
mondalankita57: Hmm ❤️
mondalankita57: And what about the equation ??? involved in it
mondalankita57: Ok got it
sanjeetmanhas01: as no reaction is occuring... therefore no equation but you can write it as........ NaOH + Na2CO3 -------> NO REACTION
sanjeetmanhas01: NaOH + Na2CO3 ---------> NO REACTION
mondalankita57: Ok thanks a lot
