    These are the formulas of each compound mentioned:

    1) Hydrogen chloride: HCl

    2) Sodium hydrogen carbonate: NaHCO3, this is also known as sodium bicarbonate. The number 3 to the right of O is a subscript.

    3) Sodium chloride: NaCl

    4) Carbon dioxide: CO2. This is also known as carbon anhydride. The number 2 to the right of O is a subscript.

    5) Water: H2O. The number 2 to the right of H is a subscript.

    The the chemical equation is:

    HCl + NaHCO3 → NaCl + CO2 + H2O

    Check the balance

    element left side right side

    H 1+1 = 2 2

    Cl 1 1

    Na 1 1

    C 1 1

    O 3 2+1 = 3

    Then, given that the number of each element on the left side is equal to the number of elements in the right side, the equation is balanced.
