What is the bi in bicarbonate?

It is actually Hydrogen. Sodium Bicarbonate is properly known as Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and sometimes Sodium Acid Carbonate (Hydrogen makes it an acid)CompareNaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)Since sodium carbonate takes two sodium ions for each carbonate, and bicarbonate has only one, ratio of carbonate ions to sodium ion doubles, hence the term bicarbonate.


What is the equation for hydrogen carbonate?

H2CO3 is Carbonic Acid or HCO3- is Bicarbonate


What is the formula for ammonium acid carbonate?

NH4HCO3, it is also commonly known as Ammonium Bicarbonate or Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate


What is the base of HCO3?

The conjugate base of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is CO32- (carbonate ion) The conjugate acid of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is H2CO3 (carbonic acid)


When the carbonate acid sodium bicarbonate buffer pairs buffers a base?

water is produced


Why is it preferable to react sodium bicarbonate with a base and not with an acid to determine the percentage hydrogen carbonate?

Hydrogen carbonate will eliminated away as a gas


What is the word equation between acid and metal carbonate?

metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2


Is calcium carbonate carbonic acid?

No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an acid but a salt. A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid.


The equation for metal carbonates and acid?

metal carbonate + acid --> salt + water + carbon dioxide


What mixed with water will neutralize muriatic acid?

Soda ash, i.e. Sodium carbonate or its bicarbonate


What happens when an acid reacts with metal carbonate?

the acid eats the meatl


What is bicarbonato?

I have an answer but I think you spelled something wrong. It's not bicarbonato. It's BICARBONATE. Here's your answer: Bicarbonate is a salt of carbonic acid in which one hydrogen atom has been replaced..... an acid carbonate.
