If I have an excess of sodium carbonate and add sulfuric acid to it, which of the following reaction takes place having in count that there is an excess of sodium carbonate?:

1. 2Na2CO3 + H2SO4 --> 2NaHCO3- + Na2SO4 (before the firts equivalente point)

and 2NaHCO3- + H2SO4 --> 2H2CO3 + Na2SO4 (after the firts equivalente point)

2. Na2CO3 + H2SO4 ---> Na2SO4 + H2CO3

This is without having in count that the final products are Na2SO4 + CO2 + H2O because of the descomposition of the carbonic acid.
