Write a balanced chemical equation for the following neutralization reaction producing a soluble salt: Carbonic acid, H2CO3H2CO3, neutralizes a sodium hydroxide solution. Assume both equivalents of hydrogen ions in the acid react.

H₂CO₃ (aq)  +  2NaOH(aq)  →   Na₂CO₃ (aq) +  2H₂O(l)

Explanation:

In a reaction of neutralization you produce water and the salt derived from the acid and the base that has reacted.

Carbonic acid dissociates as this:

H₂CO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃o⁺  (aq) +  HCO₃⁻ (aq)   Ka₁

HCO₃⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  CO₂²⁻ (aq)     Ka₂

Sodium hydroxide dissociates as this:

NaOH (aq) ←  Na⁺ (aq)  +  OH⁻(aq)

So OH⁻ bonds to the H₃O⁺ to make water.

H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻ ⇄  2H₂O     Kw

The reaction for neutratlization is:

H₂CO₃ (aq)  +  2NaOH(aq)  →   Na₂CO₃ (aq) +  2H₂O(l)

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?

answer; the numbers of valence electrons in the acetic acid molecule (ch3co2h) is 24;
