Problem

Acetic acid reacts with sodium carbonate in water. The reaction is represented in complete ionic form as 2 CH3COOH(aq)+Na+(aq)+CO32−(aq)  ⟶  2 CH3COO−(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)+Na+(aq)2\,\text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH}(aq)+\text{Na}^{+}(aq)+\text{CO}_{3}^{2-}(aq)\;\longrightarrow\;2\,\text{CH}_{3}\text{COO}^{-}(aq)+\text{H}_{2}\text{O}(l)+\text{CO}_{2}(g)+\text{Na}^{+}(aq) Write the balanced net ionic equation for this reaction.
