ii. Balance the reaction

iii. Write the complete ion equation

iii. Write the net ionic equation

Na2CO3(aq) + HNO3(aq) 

Balanced reaction:

Complete ion equation:

Net ionic equation:

Answer 1

Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2HNO₃(aq) => 2NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) .. balanced molecular equation (acid/base rxn)

2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) => 2Na⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) .. ionic eq.

2H⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) ==> H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) ... net ionic
