Converting ammonia to bicarbonate ion seems like something an alchemist would do.
Kidneys (ours, at least) convert nitrogenous wastes (things like ammonia or compounds with an amine group attached - R-NH2) to urea, which is far less toxic than ammonia.

What is ammonia bicarbonate?
Ammonia bicarbonate is nothing at all (nor is ammonia carbonate).Ammonium bicarbonate is a real chemical, and it has formula NH4HCO3 (the combination of ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-).Ammonium carbonate is a similar chemical with formula (NH4)2CO3, and is the combination of 2 NH4+ ions with one carbonate ion (CO32-).
Is urea a bicarbonate ion?
No. The bicarbonate ion is HCO3-. Urea is CH4N2O.
What is the Lewis dot structure of bicarbonate ion?
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
What is the difference between ammonia gas and ammonia ion?
What is the difference between ammonia gas and an ammonium ion?
What is the negative charge for bicarbonate?
The bicarbonate ion has a charge of -1.

What is the name of the HCO3- ion?
Bicarbonate ion
What is the difference between ammonia gas and ammonia ion?
What is the difference between ammonia gas and an ammonium ion?
IS HCO3 ION?
Yes, it is the bicarbonate ion it is properly written as HCO3- indicating that it has a -1 charge.
What is the primary form in which carbon dioxide is carried in blood?
As a bicarbonate ion in plasma
How is carbon dioxide transported in the blood?
as the bicarbonate ion in the plasma after first entering the red blood cell
Is bicarbonate acidic?
No. The bicarbonate ion is generally basic (alkaline)
What is the negative charge for bicarbonate?
The bicarbonate ion has a charge of -1.
What is the name for HCO3?
this is the emperical formula for the Bicarbonate ion
Are sodium bicarbonate and sodium metabisulfite the same?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the monatomic sodium ion (Na+) and the polyatomic bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3, a compound of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion. Due to the acidity of the ammonium ion, ammonium bicarbonate is a less basic than sodium bicarbonate.
