Can someone who knows how to balance reactions PLEASE balance this:
StartFragmentNa2CO3 +HC2H3O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + NaCl

EndFragment

shit....all the #s on there are supposed to be subscripts, but for some reason they didnt show up...thanks in advance for any help

 

[fragglemuffin]

+++Karma for whoever can help me...i need this for a lab that determines my quarter grade and i have no idea how to balance

 

[honeydip]

Na2CO3 +HC2H3O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + NaCl

ummm this doesnt make any sense cuz the product of NaCl. where did the Cl come from lol??

 

[Tinga]

yeah you must have copied it down wrong

 

[fragglemuffin]

nope...thats exactly what my teacher gave me....the NaCl is dissolved in the water if that helps

 

[freezed]

you can't balance that equation because there is no Cl on the reactants side.

Na2CO3 +HC2H3O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + NaCl

Doesn't make any sense. Maybe your teacher copied it down wrong or you did.

You can't have a product of Sodium Chloride without chlorine ever being in the equation in the first place.

Just put NR and if your teacher is cool like mine he'll be fine with it

 

[nicholls]

maybe its magic and your teacher is a witch

just say

"this equation cannot be balanced due to the fact that a female teacher made it up"

if youre teacher is not a woman, say

"this equation cannot be balanced because a snowboarder took my chlorine from the reactants
