What are soluble carbonates?
Can you give me an example of a neutralization reaction involving a soluble carbonate?
Sure! When sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl), the reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium chloride (NaCl). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is Na2CO3 + 2HCl → CO2 + H2O + 2NaCl.
