12D20 When carbonic acid (H_(2)CO_(3)) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) the products are; H_(2)CO_(3) and NaOH CO_(2),NaOH, and H_(2)O NaHCO_(3) and O_(2) Na_(2)CO_(3) and H_(2)O Clear my selection

The correct answer is: $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $H_{2}O$<br /><br />When carbonic acid $(H_{2}CO_{3})$ reacts with sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$, the products are sodium carbonate $(Na_{2}CO_{3})$ and water $(H_{2}O)$. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:<br /><br />$H_{2}CO_{3} + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_{2}CO_{3} + 2H_{2}O$<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $H_{2}O$.
