Question

Write the equation to represent the reaction of sodium hydroxide (ii) with Carbon dioxide

Answer 1

1. Chemical equation

A chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction along with the physical state of the reactants and products, the reaction conditions on the arrow separating the reactants and products.

2. Reaction of Sodium hydroxide

(ii) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a base that can produce hydroxyl ions in aqueous solutions. The reaction of Sodium hydroxide with Carbon dioxide gives Sodium carbonate and Water.
The chemical reaction equation for the reaction of Sodium hydroxide with Carbon dioxide is given below.

$$\begin{gathered} 2\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to {\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{Water} \\ \mathrm{hydroxide}\mathrm{dioxide}\mathrm{carbonate} \end{gathered}$$
