How to Balance Sodium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Sodium carbonate + Water |
How to Balance: NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O
Type of Chemical Reaction: This is a chemical reaction.
Word Equation: Sodium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Sodium carbonate + Water
Balancing Strategies: Interesting reaction and one I've never tried. Seems to be similar to bubbling Carbon dioxide through limewater, a well known chemical reaction.
Take care counting the Oxygen atoms on both sides of the chemical equation. For a complete explanation, watch:
About Balancing Chemical EquationsWhen balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
