Identify the Net Ionic Equation for the Reaction (If Any)

Multiple Choice

Identify the net ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of Na₂CO₃ and HCl are mixed.

A) 2H⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) → H₂CO₃(s)
B) 2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) → H₂CO₃(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
C) 2H⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) → H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)
D) 2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) → H₂CO₃(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq)
E) No reaction occurs.
