Question

What happens when carbon dioxide reacts with sodium oxide?

Answer 1

Understanding the concept:

• The reaction of sodium oxide($\mathrm{NaO})$ with carbon dioxide(${\mathrm{CO}}_2$) is a chemical combination reaction.
• In a chemical reaction, new substances are formed.

Chemical reaction:

There is a formation of sodium bicarbonate when sodium oxide reacts chemically with carbon dioxide.

The reaction is given as ;$2{\mathrm{Na}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2{\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right).$
