Write the balance equation for the reaction occurring when a solution of calcium chloride is mixed with a solution of sodium carbonate.

Open in App

Solution

$C a C l_{2} Calcium chloride + N a_{2} C O_{3} Sodium carbonate ⟶ C a C O_{3} Calcium carbonate + 2 N a C l Sodium chloride$
Sodium is more reactive than calcium, hence it can displace calcium from its compound and form calcium carbonate and sodium chloride.
