Hey there!:

Balanced equation:

Na2CO3(aq) + CuCl(aq) -> CuCO3(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)

Since CuCO3 is more stable so displacement and precipitation will take place.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is -
CuCl_(2)(aq.)+Na_(2)CO_(3)(aq.)\rightarrow CuCO_(3)(s)+2 NaCl(aq.)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to solubility rule,
CuCO_(3) is an insoluble compound and NaCl is a water soluble compound.

The given precipitation reaction involves exchange of cations and anions between
CuCl_(2)and Na_(2)CO_(3), resulting formation of insoluble
CuCO_(3) and NaCl.

Balanced equation:
CuCl_(2)(aq.)+Na_(2)CO_(3)(aq.)\rightarrow CuCO_(3)(s)+2 NaCl(aq.)
