This is what the completed reaction looks like
Na2CO3 + 2HCl ⇔ 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
My question is how did they get the products in the above reaction.
Here is my attempt, but I don't see how to get it like in the above reaction
Na2CO3 + HCl ⇔ NaCl + HCO3
The HCO3 breaks down as follows:
HCO3 + H2O ⇔ H3O+ + CO2
So my question is how did they only get H2O + CO2 in the top reaction without the hydronium H3O+ ??
Thanks
