What is HCO3-?
HCO3 is bicarbonate. Testing for HCO3 is usually done as part of arterial blood gas testing which determines whether the acid-base levels of the body are normal. Normal levels are pH 7.35-7.45, PaCO2 35-45 and HCO3 22-26. If the values for these measurements are outside the normal ranges, then the body has an acid-base imbalance. If the PaCO2 is off, the condition is a respiratory issue. if the HCO3 is outside the normal range, then it is a metabolic issue.
What is the most common physiological buffer in the human body?
HCO3(-) bicarbonate, I think.
An important buffering system in the human body is?
protein, HCO3-, H2CO3
What is the difference between HCO3- and HCO3plus?
HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.
Describe the mechanisms by which the kidneys remove hydrogen ions from the body?
If you are using Marieb and Hoehn Human Anatomy and Physiology the answer is explained on page 1052 and following under the heading of Renal Mechanisms of Acid Base Balance. Essentially, the kidneys 1) reabsorb or generate new HCO3- tubule cells shunt HCO3- into peritubular capillary blood to conserve it 2) excrete HCO3- type A intercalated cells of the collecting ducts generate new HCO3- ions by secretion/excretion HCO3- = bicarbonate ion which dissociates into H+ H+ can be made into HCO3-
What is the source of HCO3?
In the body, HCO3 can be produced from carbon dioxide (from respiring cells). It disassociates and reacts with water.

What is the body's buffering system?
Carbonic acid( H2CO3 ) and its conjugate base bicarbonate[ HCO3(-) ].

HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.
What does hco3 represent?
HCO3, known as Bicarbonate (or hydrogen-carbonate) is a salt ion of Carbonic acid (H2CO3). It is monovalent, HCO3- . Examples= NaHCO3, Ca(HCO3)2
What is chemical formula for bicarbonate of soda?
Ni(HCO3)2
What is the atomicity of HCO3?
The atomicity of the ion (HCO3)- is five.

What is the anion responsible for buffering excess hydrogen ions to neutralize acidosis in the body?
The bicarbonate ion, HCO3-.
Formula for iron hydrogen carbonate?
Iron(ll) hydrogen carbonate Fe(HCO3)2 Iron(lll) hydrogen carbonate Fe(HCO3)3
