Sodium carbonate + Nitiric acid you get ............

NaNo3

I thought this salt was basic because

Na + H2o = no reaction

No3 + H2O= something that gives hydroxide??

 

[LordPc]

rephrase the question so that it makes sense

ie, use what, how, when, why, where

 

[Trebla]

Na + H₂O gives a very explosive reaction...lol

haha, I didnt even notice that

yea, you dont want to add Na and H₂O if you want to keep living.

On the other hand, if you would like to blow up a toilet bowl . . .

NaNO3 is ionic, ie you cant just say 'Na reacts with this and NO3 reacts witht his'

its the ions - ie 'Na+ does not react with water, it solvates, as does NO3-'

so in answer to your question, no it produces a neutral salt

Technically speaking Na+ doesn't exist.

Technically speaking Na+ doesn't exist.

yes but we're speaking HSC level, in which case in order to find out whether a salt is acidic/basic you just do those equations

I thought this salt was basic

Na₂CO₃ + 2 HNO₃ --> NaNO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O

You should have seen that its a strong acid/strong base reaction. The result of which is a neutral salt.
