It is an acid.
Carbonic acid gives an acid salt but hydrochloric acid does not
RaCO3 is a salt, specifically an acidic salt. It is formed by the reaction of an acid (carbonic acid) and a base (radium hydroxide).
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.
H2CO3 is an acid, specifically a weak acid known as carbonic acid. It is formed from the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water.
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).
Neither, it is a salt. Dissolved in water it has a pH of 7 (neutral).
As the name implies, it is an 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.
Hydrochloric acid.
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.
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.
No, it forms an acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
