Carbon trioxide is an unstable oxide of carbon, and is in the form of gas. so no co3 is not an acid
it's base
H2CO3---------- 2 H+ + (CO3)2-
A carbonate ion would be a proton acceptor, making it a base. _________________________________________________________________ False, CO3 2- is an acidic ion, but forms a weak acid. Hence, it dissociates into H2O and CO2.
6HCl + Al2(CO3)3 ==> 2AlCl3 + 3CO2 + 3H2O
the entire chemical system of the carbonate ion is as follows CO3 (2-) <------> HCO3 (-) <-------> H2CO3 by adding amounts of base or acid to a solution containing either the carbonate or bicarbonate ion will shift chemical equilibrium, more towards the formation of carbonate with base and more towards carbonic acid with the acid. carbonic acid however is incredibly unstable and quickly decomposes to form water and carbon dioxide H2CO3 ----> H2O + CO2 By the addition of acid to a carbonate system the equilibrium is driven to the right and carbonic acid is formed. Due to its instability it then decomposes. This is why the baking soda and vinegar reaction forms copious amounts of bubbles.
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
it's base
Considering that CO3, or carbonic ACID, this substance would be considered an acid. * actually, whoever wrote this is wrong. CO3-2 is the conjugate base of a weak acid (HCO3-, bicarbonate) K2CO3 is actually a base. and CO3, isn't called carbonic acid, it is called carbonate.
HCO3- is both an acid and a base. It can donate a "proton" (hydrogen ion) as follows:HCO3(-) = H(+) + CO3(-2)orHCO3(-) + OH(-) = H2O + CO3(-2)It can also absorb a proton:HCO3(-) + H(+) = H2CO3Which occurs depends on the pH of the solution. The pKa values are given here:What_is_pka_value_for_sodium_bicarbonateH2CO3 is known as "carbonic acid". It can decompose into water and carbon dioxideH2CO3 = H2O + CO2
Carbonic acid(H2CO3/H(CO3)2
Carbonic acid, H2CO3
HSO3-
CO3 - The elements present in this are one carbon atom and three oxygen atoms, CO3 is a base, the name of it is carbonate, K2CO3 = potasium carbonate
H2CO3---------- 2 H+ + (CO3)2-
Bicarbonate of soda is sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3. Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3 and is less alkaline.
Bicarbonate is - Co3 and Acid is - HA Hc03
Carbonic acid(H2CO3/H(CO3)2
The chemical equation is: Ca2+ + (CO3)2- + 2H+ + 2(NO3)- = Ca2+ + 2(NO3)- + (CO3)2- + 2H+
