Is RaCO3 a acid base salt or none?

RaCO3 is a salt, specifically an acidic salt. It is formed by the reaction of an acid (carbonic acid) and a base (radium hydroxide).


What salt is formed when carbonic acid and aluminum hydroxide mix?

The salt formed when carbonic acid and aluminum hydroxide mix is aluminum carbonate. This reaction occurs when the acid-base reaction between carbonic acid and aluminum hydroxide takes place, resulting in the formation of aluminum carbonate salt.


Is H2CO3 a base acid or salt?

H2CO3 is an acid, specifically a weak acid known as carbonic acid. It is formed from the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water.


Is Na2CO3 a base acid or salt?

Na2CO3 is a salt, specifically sodium carbonate. It is formed from the reaction between a strong base (sodium hydroxide) and a weak acid (carbonic acid).


Which acid and base is used to make salt potassium carbonate?

Neither, it is a salt. Dissolved in water it has a pH of 7 (neutral).


Is carbonic acid base or acid?

Is HCO3 a weak or strong acid?

HCO3 is not an acid, but a base. It is the conjugate base of the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid). In water, it can act as a weak base by accepting a proton to form H2CO3.


What gas is produced by adding carbonic acid to salt?

Hydrochloric acid.


Why carbonic acid gives acid salt but hydrochloric acid does not?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, and when reacted with a strong base will give a neutral salt. When reacted with a weak base it will give an acid salt. Example, HCl + NH3 => NH4Cl.Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid and is actually CO2 + H2O. When reacted with a strong base, it will give an alkaline salt and when reacted with a weak base will give a solution the pH of which will depend on the Kb and Ka of the reactants.


Is K2CO3 acidic basic or neutral?

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.


C02 plus H20 is a base?

No, it forms an acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
