Carbonate (CO32-) is a weak (double) base, it can accept two protons (in 2 steps).
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a weak base
Sodium carbonate is generally considered an inorganic compound, even though it contains carbon.
Sodium carbonate is a weak base
CoCO3 (Cobalt II carbonate) would be a weak base.
Among the weak bases it is a relatively strong base
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a weak base
Sodium carbonate is generally considered an inorganic compound, even though it contains carbon.
Sodium carbonate is a weak base
Sodium carbonate is the product of the neutralization reaction between a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid (H2CO3).
Sodium carbonate solution is alkaline because of the carbonate ion. Sodium ions do not change the pH. However, carbonate, being the conjugate base of a weak acid (carbonic acid/hydrogen carbonate) does affect the pH. The carbonate ions can abstract a proton to form hydrogen carbonate, HCO3-. When the proton is abstracted from water, hydroxide ions form which results in a higher pH (more basic).
Weak Base
CoCO3 (Cobalt II carbonate) would be a weak base.
Among the weak bases it is a relatively strong base
It is the conjugate base of a weak acid (carbonic acid).
A weak bubbling.
Sodium itself is neither an acid nor a base. However, it will react with water to form the strong base sodium hydroxide.
Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base.
