could someone please check my work? Thank you. Note(some of these reactions may be reversible but I'm not sure if I have them right)

1. carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through a solution of lithium hydroxide.
CO2(g)+2LiOH(aq) ===> Li2CO3(aq)+ HOH(l)

2. Sodium nitrite is reacted with hydrochloric acid
NaNo2(aq)+HCl(aq) ===>NaCl(aq)+HNO2(aq)
(not reveresible, I think? right?)

3. carbon dioxide gas is reacted with solid potassium oxide
CO2(g)+K2O(s)===>K2CO3(?)

4. ammonium carbonate+potassium bromide
(NH4)2CO3(aq)+KBr(aq) <====> NH4Br(aq)+ K2CO3(aq)
(this should be reversible right?)

5. oxalic acid(.1M)reacts with an equal volume of cesium hydroxide(.1M)
H2C2O4(aq)+CsOH(aq)===>CsHC2O4(aq)+HOH(l)
(I read this one somewhere and think this is right but why is molarity important)

thank you for your help

1. Correct. The reaction is driven to the right by the formation of H2O, which is hardly at all ionized, thus taking OH- ions out of solution.
2. Correct. Same reason. HNO2 is a weak acid, only slightly ionized.
3. Correct.
4. No reaction. This is because NH4+, CO3=, K+, and Br- do not combine to form any gas or nonionized product.
5. Correct. Molarity is important, because if you react with more CsOH, then CsHC2O4(aq) + CsOH(aq) ===> Cs2C2O4(aq) + H2O.
