What is the net ionic equation for the reaction below? 2H+ + CO32– + 2Na+ + 2OH– 2Na+ + CO32– + 2H2O

The given reaction in your problem is the ionic equation for an acid (carbonic acid) reacting with a base (sodium hydroxide). All components of the reaction are then written in ionic form except for reactant weak electrolytes and the driving force product compound of the reaction (H2O). See following explanation.

Explanation:

Metathesis Rxn: molecular equation of rxn      

H₂CO₃(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) => Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

Ionic Equation: shows all components of the reaction

H₂CO₃(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) => 2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

H₂CO₃(aq)  wk. electrolyte and H₂O(l) driving force compound are not shown ionized in ionic equation. Only strong electrolytes that ionize 100%; i.e., salts and strong acids and bases.

Net Ionic Equation: shows only the reactive components without the spectator ions (nonreactive components), in this case, the Na⁺(aq) ions.

H₂CO₃(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) =>  CO₃²⁻(aq)  + 2H₂O(l)

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
