Solution

The first reaction occurs when equimolar amounts of reactants are added together, producing sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride.that is, Hydrochloric acid & sodium carbonate react to produce sodium chloride, carbon dioxide and water. Brisk effervescence are seen due to carbon dioxide gas formation.The equation is;-

Na2CO3 + HCl ----> NaHCO3 +NaCl

As more HCl is added the sodium bicarbonate reacts with it to produce CO2, NaCl and H2O;-

NaHCO3 + HCl ----> NaCl + CO2 + H2O
so both the equations are correct.
