this is the emperical formula for the Bicarbonate ion
The pKa value for sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is 10.3. This provides a measure of the acid strength of bicarbonate. People often make the mistake of reporting the pKa value of 6.3 for bicarbonate. However, that is the pKa value of carbonic acid (not bicarbonate). It relates to the ease of the first deprotonation of carbonic acid to form bicarbonate. The pKa of bicarbonate relates to the deportation of bicarbonate to form carbonate. This distinction is important, since carbonic acid has two pKa's, the higher of which represents that second deprotonation.

Yeah. They are =).

The Bicarbonate Buffer System
An important physiological buffer is the Digestive System's Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H+ + HCO3- The bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is made by the pancreas. This is one of the pancrea's many exocrine functions. The bicarbonate helps to counteract the HCl released into the stomach thus maintaining the pH balanced.

It is important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine because the pancreatic fluid flows into the small intestines. The pancreatic fluid consists of enzymes that chemically digest chyme and contains bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme. So in order for the stomach to chemically digest the food it has to have the pancreatic fluid.
Yes, it is possible but I think that it is not so important.
