Answer #2

Molecular equation:

2 NaOH(aq) + H2CO3(aq) => Na2CO3(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Complete ionic equation (expand strong electrolytes into ions):

2 Na+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq) + H2CO3(aq)

=> 2 Na+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Net ionic equation (cancel common ions in complete ionic equation):

2 OH-(aq) + H2CO3(aq) => CO32-(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
