Hey NaOH does not react with Na2CO3, it is in fact, used in the formation of Na2CO3 by reacting with carbon dioxide and water. The reaction goes like this:
1st Step
CO2 + H2O => H2CO3
2nd step:
H2CO3 + NaOH => NaHCO3 + H2O
3rd step:
NaHCO3 + NaOH -> Na2CO3 + H2O
Na2CO3 is also used to form NaOH in the following reaction:
Na2CO3 + 2H2O => 2NaOH + H2CO3
1st Step
CO2 + H2O => H2CO3
2nd step:
H2CO3 + NaOH => NaHCO3 + H2O
3rd step:
NaHCO3 + NaOH -> Na2CO3 + H2O
Na2CO3 is also used to form NaOH in the following reaction:
Na2CO3 + 2H2O => 2NaOH + H2CO3
