    NiCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) - --> NiCO3 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

    Explanation:

    Soluble ionic compounds exist as ions in solution.

    Na 2CO3, will contain Na2CO3 (aq) - -> 2Na ^ + (aq) + CO2 ^-3 (aq)

    The same way, a solution of calcium chloride,

    CaCl 2, will contain CaCl2 (aq) - -> Ca2^ + (aq) + 2Cl^ - (aq)

    Mixing both solution, the calcium cations

    Ca 2^+, will apir up with the carbonate anions, CO2^-3, and form the Insoluble calcium carbonate, CaCO ^3, which precipitates out of solution.

    The complete ionic equation, which features all the ions that are present in solution, will be like this

    2 Na^ + (aq) + CO2^-3 (aq) + Ca2^ + (aq) + 2Cl^ - (aq) - -> CaCO 3 ↓ (s) + 2Na^ + (aq) + 2Cl^ - (aq)

    Notice that you have two sodium cations and two chloride anions on the products' side, which is why you have 2NaCl

    NiCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) - --> NiCO3 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
