Balance the following chemical equation (which is for this reaction) and list the number of atoms of each element present before and after the reaction: nahco3 + ch3cooh → co2 + h2o + ch3coona

The balanced chemical equation will be;

NaHCO3 +  CH3COOH = CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

After balancing the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element is the same on the reactants and on the products side.

Sodium atoms - 1

Hydrogen atoms - 5

Carbon atoms - 3

Oxygen atoms - 5

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.
