By what process does this actually happen?
On wikipedia they show this reaction?
2 NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O
My chemistry teacher described it as a process
where
Process 2
NaOH + CO2 → NaHCO3 + (something else to balance equation not sure)
then
NaHCO3 + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O
How would I finish balancing that equation and which is the actual process?
