GPT-4o mini
When trioxonitrate (v) acid, which is also known as nitric acid (HNO₃), is reacted with sodium trioxocarbonate, which is sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), the reaction leads to the formation of sodium nitrate (NaNO₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:
\[
2 \text{HNO}_3 + \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{NaNO}_3 + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O}
\]
In this reaction, the nitric acid donates protons (H⁺) and reacts with the carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) from sodium carbonate to produce sodium nitrate, while also releasing carbon dioxide and water.
