Why are two atoms of group IA and one atom of group IIA needed to react with carbonate?

Carbonate has a negative two charge (CO32-). Group 1 elements have a plus 1 charge, and group II elements have a plus 2 charge. In order balance the reaction so that the charge is balanced, the stoichiometry comes out 1 to 2 for Group 1 and 1 to 1 for the Group II.See the Related Questions for more information about balanced reactions and stoichiometry.
