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.
NH4HCO3, it is also commonly known as Ammonium Bicarbonate or Ammonium Hydrogen 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
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.
metal carbonate + acid --> salt + water + carbon dioxide

H2CO3 is Carbonic Acid or HCO3- is Bicarbonate
NH4HCO3, it is also commonly known as Ammonium Bicarbonate or Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate
The conjugate base of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is CO32- (carbonate ion) The conjugate acid of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
water is produced
Hydrogen carbonate will eliminated away as a gas

Soda ash, i.e. Sodium carbonate or its bicarbonate
the acid eats the meatl
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.
