Na2CO3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
In this reaction, the carbonate ions (CO3^2-) in sodium carbonate react with hydrogen ions (H+) from hydrochloric acid to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is also formed as a byproduct of the reaction. The carbon dioxide gas produced in this reaction can be observed as bubbles forming in the solution.
