Question

How would you balance: NaHCO3+HCL--> CO2+H20+NaCl?

Answer 1

`NaHCO_3+HCl=>CO_2+H_2O+NaCl`

Explanation:

`NaHCO_3+HCl=>CO_2+H_2O+NaCl`
spectator ion : `Na^+, Cl^-`
net ion equation : `HCO_3^-` `+H^+=>CO_2+H_2O`
In this equation you don't have to add any coefficients.
(the number of atoms at both side are same.2 H 3 O 1 C
and the charge are same. (1+)+(1-)=0+0 )
balanced equation : `NaHCO_3+HCl=>CO_2+H_2O+NaCl`
