Answer:

When copper(II) chloride and sodium carbonate solutions are combined, solid copper(II) carbonate precipitates, leaving a solution of sodium chloride. Write the conventional equation, total ionic equation, and net ionic equation for this reaction.

Explanation:

The word equation for the reaction is:

Copper (II) chloride(aq) + sodium carbonate (aq) ->sodium chloride (aq) +           copper carbonate(s)

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

[tex]CuCl_2(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)->2NaCl(aq)+CuCO_3(s)[/tex]

The complete ionic equation is:

[tex]Cu^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CuCO_3(s)\\[/tex]

The net ionic equation is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions:

[tex]Cu^2^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->CuCO_3(s)[/tex]
