Na22+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + 2HCl(aq) --> H2O(l) + CO2(g) + 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

You will notice the many indications of aqueous solutions. Technically, 2HCl(aq) is supposed to be 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq), however for the purpose of answering the question asked, it has been left as HCl(aq). In order for this reaction to take place, the reactants must be dissolved in water.

You will also notice superscripts that say +, -, 2+, or 2-. These indicate the charge of the ion dissolved in an aqueous solution.It is important that the total charge of the reactants is equal to the total charge of the products.

This reaction is simply 1 molecule of sodium bicarbonate (Na2CO3) plus 2 molecules of hydrochloric acid (HCl) yields 1 molecule of water (H2O) plus 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) plus two molecules of sodium chloride (NaCl).
