Sodium chloride (NaCl), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O).
Here's the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
Na₂CO₃ (aq) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
This is a classic example of a double displacement reaction and an acid-base neutralization reaction.
Here's a breakdown:
* Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is a base.
* Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an acid.
* Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a salt.
* Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a gas that is released as bubbles.
* Water (H₂O) is formed as a liquid.
The reaction is often accompanied by effervescence (bubbling) due to the formation of carbon dioxide gas.
