Calcium bicarbonate is usually formed when calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with carbonic acid (H2CO3).

CaCO3 + H2CO3 --> Ca(HCO3)2

Calcium bicarbonate can only exist in aqueous solution. Any attempt to isolate will result in it decomposing into calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water.

Why carbonates and bi carbonates are not organic compound?

An organic compound is one where carbon is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. In carbonates and bicarbonates the carbon is bonded to oxygen, in carbon disulphide it is bonded to sulfur.


Are bicarbonates organic and inorganic and why?

Bicarbonates are considered inorganic compounds because they do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds. Bicarbonates, like sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), consist of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms bonded together in a specific arrangement. Because they lack C-H bonds, they are categorized as inorganic compounds.


How is a base formed?

A base is formed when a substance accepts a proton (H+ ion) from an acid to form water and a conjugate base. Bases have a pH above 7 and can act as proton acceptors in chemical reactions. Common examples of bases include hydroxides like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and bicarbonates like sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).
