Yes, it's called a neutralization reaction, but to make this work, you need to balance the equation.
NaOH + H2CO3 --> Na2CO3
On the right side of the equation you have 2 Na (sodium), so on the left you need 2 NaOH to compensation.
2NaOH + H2CO3 --> Na2CO3
Now you have 2 Na and 1 CO3 on both sides, but what do you do with 2OH and H2 that's still on the left side? That actually makes 2 H2O, so the full equation is:
2NaOH + H2CO3 --> Na2CO3 + 2H2O

What is sodium's primary uses?
it is used as table salt (NaC1), soda ash (Na2CO3) , baking soda (NaHCO3) , caustic soda (NaOH), Chile saltpeter (NANO3), and borax (Na2B4O7-10H2O)
Why only 10H2O in sodium carbonate deca hydrate?
Sodium carbonate decahydrate is the name of the compound Na2CO3·10H2O, because 'deca' means 'ten'.The term hydrated sodium carbonate is commonly used to encompass the monohydrate (Na2CO3·H2O), the decahydrate and the heptahydrate (Na2CO3·7H2O).Both the hepta- and the decahydrate are partially transformed into the monohydrate thermonatrite Na2CO3·H2O when left over in dry air.Anhydrous (no H2O) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is formed when heating Na2CO3·H2O or NaHCO3 or Na3H(CO3)2·2H2O (trona) up to 150o-200oC (this is called calcination).
Can you autoclave bicarbonate solution?
Mostly, sodium and potassium carbonates used in the biological practice need to be filter sterilized (may be 0.22 micron). Above 70 °C, sodium or potassium bicarbonates gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
What can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?
H2CO3 is not used as buffer.
What is the chemical formula for Sodium carbonate used in the manufacture of paper?
The chemical formula is Na2CO3.

Could Na2CO3 be used for the same purpose as baking soda?
ive got a feeeling it is, the SODA part of baking soda refers to the sodium and carbonates are often used in cookinf so i guess yeah
Is HCOOH and HCOONa a buffer?
Yes, in a 1:10 dilution of Na2CO3, and NaHCO3, the buffer capacity for basic solutions is 7E-4 and for acidic solutions, 1.2E-01
What is bi-sodium carbonate?
Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, sometimes called sodium hydrogen carbonate. It is an ionic compound with an ionic formula of Na+ HCO3- It is used as a baking powder as it decomposes above 700C quickly at 2000C 2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 The CO2 causes the cake to rise! It is mildly alkaline and reacts with acids. For example with hydrochloric acid the reaction is :- NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2(g) It has many related names such as baking soda,bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In colloquial usage, its name is sometimes shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb.
Could only H2SO4 be used to determine the presence of Na2CO3 in a mixture of solid Na2CO3 and NaCl?
yes
What is solvay process?
The Solvay process (named after Ernest Solvay, who perfected it) is used to make sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) from limestone and brine, using ammonia as a catalyst. In the US, the Solvay process is no longer used because we have deposits of the mineral Trona in Wyoming, and it's cheaper to mine these products than to synthesize them.

Why is solid nahco3 used instead of aqueous nahco3 in the synthesis of tert-butyl chloride?
The solid is used so that no water is added to the reaction, as water would stop the reaction.
What happens to NaHCO3 when used in CPR?
Baking soda should not be used in CPR.
If 5 grams of NaHCO3 decomposes what is the mass of the carbon dioxide used?
I just had this question on my chem homework so I'll see if I can help. First thing you need to do is balance the equation. The balanced equation should look like this: 2NaHCO3 -----> Na2CO3 + H2O +CO2 With that out of the way we can start converting. The Molar Mass of NaHCO3 is 84 (or close to it, depending on how you round your decimals) So we do 5g NaHCO3/ 84g NaHCO3. That should give you about 0.059. Next we do 0.059/2mol NaHCO3, because we know from the balanced equation that we have a 2:1:1:1 ratio. That should give you about 0.0295. Now we find the Molar Mass of CO2, which is around 44. Lastly, we go 0.0295x44 and that should give us the answer. I got 1.3g of CO2 as my answer. I hope I was able to be of some use. :)
