NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + H2O + CO2

Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2

The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.

Chemical Reaction Information

This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): NaHCO3 is a base, HCl is an acid.

Nahcolite + Hydrogen Chloride = Sodium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide

This is a gas evolution reaction, CO2 is the formed gas.

Reaction Type

Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.

Reactants:

NaHCO3 – Sodium hydrogen carbonate

  • Other names: Sodium bicarbonate.
  • Appearance: White crystals.
