Well you got the salt of sodium ion... $N a^{+}$ $Na^+$ ...

Explanation:

and carbonate ion, $C O_{3}^{2 -}$ $CO_3^(2-)$ ion....and clearly the salt is a NEUTRAL species... And so we take two cations, and ONE anion to give us....

$N a_{2} C O_{3}$ $Na_2CO_3$ as the $NEUTRAL SALT$ $"NEUTRAL SALT"$ .....and carbonates are labile to acids according to the following equation....

$N a_{2} C O_{3} (a q) + 2 H C l (a q) \to 2 N a C l (a q) + C O_{2} (g) ↑ ⏐ + H_{2} O (l)$ $Na_2CO_3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) rarr 2NaCl(aq) + CO_2(g)uarr+ H_2O(l)$
