This equation demonstrates the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and water (H2O) to produce sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as sodium bicarbonate.
- Reaction conditions:
This reaction takes place under normal conditions (normal temperature and pressure), without the need for heating or conducting in a special environment.
- Reaction process:
Na2CO3 (solid) + H2O -> 2NaHCO3.
When sodium carbonate meets water, it creates sodium bicarbonate. If water continues to be added, the sodium bicarbonate will continue to react and lower the pH after the reaction.
- Phenomena occurring:
No particular phenomena occur during the reaction process. The sodium carbonate solid will gradually dissolve in water, and after the reaction, we will obtain a solution containing sodium bicarbonate.
