question 181

Multiple Choice

Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of Na₂CO₃ and HCl are mixed.

• A) 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq)
• B) 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → H₂CO₃(s) + 2 NaCl(s)
• C) 2 H⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) → H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)
• D) 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → H₂CO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 Cl^-(aq)
• E) No reaction occurs.
