The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) is:
\[ \text{NaHCO}_3 (s) + \text{HCl} (aq) \rightarrow \text{NaCl} (aq) + \text{CO}_2 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \]
This equation shows that one mole of sodium bicarbonate reacts with one mole of hydrochloric acid to produce one mole of sodium chloride, one mole of carbon dioxide, and one mole of water.
\[ \text{NaHCO}_3 (s) + \text{HCl} (aq) \rightarrow \text{NaCl} (aq) + \text{CO}_2 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \]
This equation shows that one mole of sodium bicarbonate reacts with one mole of hydrochloric acid to produce one mole of sodium chloride, one mole of carbon dioxide, and one mole of water.
