Problem

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is the only available source of HCO3−\text{HCO}_3^- ions in a laboratory. Write a balanced molecular equation, with state symbols, whose reaction in water produces the net ionic equation H++HCO3−→CO2(g)+H2O(l)\text{H}^+ + \text{HCO}_3^- \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l).
