Homework Statement
Write and balance the reaction between aqueous calcium chloride and aqueous sodium carbonate. Write the net ionic reaction. If you start with 10.0g of calcium chloride and an excess of sodium carbonate, how many grams of precipitate will form?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]CaCl_{2}_{(aq)} + Na_{2}CO_{3}_{(aq)} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}_{(aq)} + 2NaCl_{(s)}[/tex]
This is what I get for a balanced reaction. From what I gather, this would be a double displacement and the sodium carbonate is precipitates out since carbonate has a low solubility. The other parts of this question I understand how to do as long as I am correct with this part. Is this reaction balanced or am I completely wrong? Thanks in advance!
