It can be either and acid or a base; since it is capable of either accepting or donating a proton, it depends on the surrounding solution.

What is the conjugate acid of HCO3- and why?
The conjugated acid of HCO3- is: H2CO3, carbonic acid.Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ ONE (1) proton (H+): The acid WITH and the base WITHOUT it.So, on the other hand the conjugated base of HCO3- is: CO32-, carbonate.
The conjugate acid of HCO3- is?
You mean,HCO3 - = bicarbonateH2CO3 = carbonic acid and the conjugate of the above base.
What is the parent acid and parent base of MgCO3?
Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
Which acid is weaker HNO3 or HCO3?
HCO3 is the weaker acid.
What is the conjugate base for HCO3?
The conjugate base of HCO3- is CO32-. Conjugates always differ by one H+. A conjugate base has one fewer H+, while a conjugate acid has one more H+.
What is the base of HCO3?
The conjugate base of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is CO32- (carbonate ion) The conjugate acid of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is H2CO3 (carbonic acid)

Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
Which acid is weaker HNO3 or HCO3?
HCO3 is the weaker acid.

The conjugate base of HCO3- is CO32-. Conjugates always differ by one H+. A conjugate base has one fewer H+, while a conjugate acid has one more H+.
What is the body's buffering system?
Carbonic acid( H2CO3 ) and its conjugate base bicarbonate[ HCO3(-) ].
Why aqueous sodium carbonate solution is basic in nature?
Na2CO3 +H2O----->HCO3++OH-HERE HCO3- IS A WEAK ACID AND OH- IS A STRONG BASE
Is sodium carbonate a weak acid or a weak base?
Carbonate (CO32-) is a weak (double) base, it can accept two protons (in 2 steps).CO32- + H+ HCO3-HCO3- + H+ H2CO3
How do you write the conjugate base of each what acids h2so4?
Conjugated bases always have one proton less than its (conjugated) acids:So the conjugated base of carbonic acid ( H2CO3 ) is: hydrogen carbonate, formula HCO3-
What is the reason for baking soda to be a base?
Baking soda reacts with acid, so it's a base: HCO3- + H+ --> H2O + CO2
What is HCO3-?
HCO3 is bicarbonate. Testing for HCO3 is usually done as part of arterial blood gas testing which determines whether the acid-base levels of the body are normal. Normal levels are pH 7.35-7.45, PaCO2 35-45 and HCO3 22-26. If the values for these measurements are outside the normal ranges, then the body has an acid-base imbalance. If the PaCO2 is off, the condition is a respiratory issue. if the HCO3 is outside the normal range, then it is a metabolic issue.
