The above equation describes the chemical reaction process between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and hydrogen (H2) to form sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda.
- Reaction conditions:
This reaction occurs under standard temperature and pressure conditions. However, to speed up the reaction, a catalyst can be used, or the temperature can be increased.
- Reaction process:
When sodium carbonate is introduced into an environment containing hydrogen, the sodium carbonate molecules will react with the hydrogen to form sodium bicarbonate.
- Phenomena that occur:
During the reaction process, no special phenomena such as color changes, heat or vapor generation occur. Therefore, the reaction phenomena cannot be observed with the naked eye. To determine if the reaction has occurred, we need to rely on chemical or physical measurements (such as measuring mass, pH, etc.).
