Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate in water is:

Na2CO3(s) → 2Na+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Write down the unbalanced equation: Na2CO3 → Na + CO3
  2. Balance the sodium atoms first. There are 2 sodium atoms on the left side and only 1 on the right side. To balance this, put a 2 in front of Na: Na2CO3 → 2Na + CO3
  3. Now, balance the carbonate ions. There is 1 carbonate ion on both sides of the equation, so it is already balanced.
  4. Check to make sure the equation is balanced. There are 2 sodium atoms and 1 carbonate ion on both sides of the equation.
  5. Finally, insert the ionic charges. Sodium ions have a +1 charge and carbonate ions have a -2 charge: Na2CO3(s) → 2Na+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)
