Question

What is formed when calcium chloride and sodium carbonate are mixed?

Answer 1

The product of this reaction is the precipitate, calcium carbonate.

$CaC{l}_2\left(aq\right)+N{a}_{2}C{O}_3\left(aq\right)\to 2NaCl\left(aq\right)+CaC{O}_3\left(s\right)$

Total Ionic Equation:

$C{a}^{+2}+2C{l}^{-}+2N{a}^{+}+C{O}_3^{-2}\to 2N{a}^{+}+2C{l}^{-}+CaC{O}_3$

Net Ionic:

$C{a}^{+2}\left(aq\right)+C{O}_3^{-2}\left(aq\right)\to CaC{O}_3\left(aq\right)$
