We can say that an overall chemical reaction is a reaction that omits all intermediate steps and only has initial reactants and the product of the reaction. For instance, the reaction

Na2CO3 + HCl => NaCl + CO2 + H2O

is the overall reaction because it shows the final products. However, this intermediate step is omitted:

H2CO3 => CO2 + H2O


Therefore, the reaction

Na2CO3 + HCl => NaCl + H2CO3

is not overall.
