(a) I am not sure....but it is an alkaline neutralization
sodium carbonate is a weak base, which do not dissociate completely
also, the system is a buffer system,
for the first euqtion it involves 2 steps, both are neutralization
1st carbonate + acid = hydrogencarbonate + salt
2nd hydrogencarbonate + acid = CO2 + salt
carbonate and hydrogencarbonate forms a buffer system, which, can resist
pH change, therefore it is not a pure neutralization.
(b) yes, hydrogencarbonate is an alkali. (pH above 7)
it is a proton acceptor, thus it is a base
HCO3 - + H+ = CO2 + H2O
the above is a neutralization
(c) yes, they are alkali. Their pH are above 7, both can react with acid , i.e.
both can be neutralized
the equation is the same as above
