Solution

Balanced chemical equation: A balanced chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides.

  • Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid giving sodium chloride, water, and liberating carbon dioxide.
  • The balanced chemical reaction can be represented as:

NaHCO3(aq)Sodiumhydrogencarbonate+HCl(aq)Hydrochloricacid→NaCl(s)Sodiumchloride+H2O(l)Water+CO2(g)Carbondioxide
