Best Answer

It's a bicarb held together a hydrogen atom .. It doesn't exist without another element. such as Sodium ... i.e. Sodium bicarb (NaHC03).

The most common split of HC03 is through the addition of another Hydrogen, making H2O and C02. Hence the Sodium Acetate, CO2 and water (H2O) from the vinegar and bicarb kids trick

CH3OOH + NaHCO3-> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

Equation for carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide?

C02 + H20 ------> H2C03 -------> HC03- + H+ Basicly, Carbon Dioxide + Water turns into Carbonic Acid and then Bicarbonate Ion and Hyrdrogen ion... This is respitation in the lungs...hope this is a better answer then the one you got before!

Is CO2 and acid or a base?

The definition of an acid is commonly known as a substance which can produce hydrogen ions (Hydronium ions to be more precise) in solution. However, the currently more 'correct definition' of an acid is the Bronsted-Lowry definition which states that an acid is a substance which donates protons (i.e. hydrogen ions). Carbonic acid, as the name implies, is an acid which can ionise in aqueous solution to form bi-carbonate ions and hydrogen ions. In other words, carbonic acid ionises in solution to give up a proton (hydrogen ion) and produce bi-carbonate ions. H2C03 <-> H+ + HCO3- However, bicarbonate ions can act as a base or an acid according to Bronsted-Lowry definition as bi-carbonate ions can accept or donate protons (hydrogen ions). We call these substances which can accept or donate protons: Amphiprotic substances. Thus, bicarbonate ion is an amphiprotic substance because it can act a either a base or an acid. Bi-carbonate ions acting as an acid: HCO3- <-> H+ + CO32- Bi-carbonate ions acting as an base: HCO3- + H+ <-> H2CO3

Reactants are CO2 and H2O?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and (H20) are the reactants that yield the product of carbonic acid (H2C03). The reaction occurs in both (equilibrium) directions by the formula H20 + CO2 <-->H2CO3.

Is CO2 a solution?

No. Carbon Dioxide is a gas at room temperature. It can become a solid (dry ice) if you lower the temperature and increase the pressure enough, but normally, it is a gas. (CO2 does not have a liquid state.)


Where does carbon dioxide enter the bloodstream?

Carbon dioxide is very soluble in aqueous solutions. There is a lot less C02 in blood than in even flat soda. In general there is an equilibrium between C02 and H2CO3 and then H2C03 disassociates into H+ and HC03- and it is the change in pH that triggers the physiological response.

How does an oxygen molecule travel through your body and come out as carbon dioxide?

Oxygen passes through the alveoli in the lungs into the blood stream. Some will dissolve in the blood, but not enough to support "life". Thus, hemoglobin exists in the red blood cells which bind the oxygen to improve the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.It then passes from the lungs back to the heart through the Left Atrium and Left Ventricle and into the arteries for distribution to the body.The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries which are barely large enough for red blood cells to pass. In the capillaries, the oxygen is released from the Red Blood cells and absorbed by the neighboring cells.Enzymes in the cells catalyze reactions between the oxygen and "fuels", for example glucose (C6H12O6) to create the basic energy molecule of cells, ATP. This reaction requires 6 molecules of oxygen (O2) and forms 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), and 6 molecules of water (H2O). The water, is pumped into the blood, and is either exhaled, or excreted through urine.Some of the carbon dioxide will bind to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. There is also an enzyme that will catalyze the binding of the carbon dioxide to water to form carbonic acid (H2C03) to aid in dissolving into the blood.The Blood with CO2 then passes from the capillaries into the veins, and into the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart, and back into the lungs to be exchanged with oxygen for another cycle.

What is the chemical reaction that takes place in the bicarbonate buffer system?

Bicarbonate can react with hydrogen ions to form carbonic acid, which combines with water to produce carbon dioxide and more water. The carbon dioxide is expired through the lungs thus helping maintain pH equilibrium in the body.
