Yes. Since the bicarbonate ion is a weak base its presence in water will slightly elevate the hydroxide ion concentration.

What is the Reaction between sodium hydroxide and calcium bicarbonate?

When sodium hydroxide reacts with calcium bicarbonate, it forms sodium bicarbonate and calcium hydroxide. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2NaOH + Ca(HCO3)2 -> 2NaHCO3 + Ca(OH)2.


Why hydroxide and bicarbonate do not coexist in a solution?

Hydroxide ions (OH-) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) do not coexist in the same solution because they can react with each other through acid-base reactions. When hydroxide ions combine with acidic hydrogen ions from the bicarbonate ions, water (H2O) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) are formed, shifting the equilibrium in favor of either hydroxide or bicarbonate ions, but not both simultaneously in the same solution.


Do all commercial antacids contain magnesium hydroxide?

No, not all commercial antacids contain magnesium hydroxide. Antacids can contain different active ingredients such as calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, or sodium bicarbonate in addition to magnesium hydroxide. It depends on the specific formulation and brand of the antacid.
