Best Answer

There are to possible reactions depending on the relative amounts of each substance. If there is an abundance of sodium hydroxide the balanced equation will be:

2NaOH + H2CO3 --> 2H2O + Na2CO3

If there is more carbonic acid:

NaOH + H2CO3 --> H2O + NaHCO3

Why sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and reacts with the water to form carbonic acid, and therefore, you get an acid-base neutralization reaction with sodium hydroxide.


Why sodium hydroxide solution contains sodium carbonate?

Water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form small amounts of carbonic acid. In a sodium hydroxide solution, this reacts again to form sodium carbonate.

Sodium Bicarbonate Acetic Acid?

sodium bicarbonate reacts with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid. carbonic acid will further dissociate to form water and carbon dioxide


Why does sodium hydroxide and phenolphthalein mixture turn clear when carbon dioxide is added?

Carbon dioxide dissolves in the aqueous solution to produce carbonic acid. The carbonic acid dissociates to produce the carbonate ion and two protons. The protons reacts with the hydroxide provided by the already dissociated sodium hydroxide to produce water. The sodium carbonate is fairly soluble and stays in solution. Since the hydroxide ion is depleted, the phenolphthalein reverts from pink to clear as it does in solutions with a pH less than 8.3.


What has the highest pH value acetic acid or sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate or sulphuric acid?

Equation for carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide?

C02 + H20 ------> H2C03 -------> HC03- + H+ Basicly, Carbon Dioxide + Water turns into Carbonic Acid and then Bicarbonate Ion and Hyrdrogen ion... This is respitation in the lungs...hope this is a better answer then the one you got before!


What is the stronger acid hydrochloric or sodium hydroxide?

Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
