Indigestion can be caused by over production of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach. Some Antacid tablets used to treat indigestion contain sodium
bicarbonate (NaHCO3).
a) Write a general word equation for the reaction of carbonates with
acids.
b) Provide a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium
bicarbonate with hydrochloric acid (and include state symbols).
c) Provide the ionic and net ionic equation for the reaction between
sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid (also showing the
cancelling out of like species).
