when you put a base like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) on or in an acid the acid level will eventually dilute and acid level would decrease

Is sodium bicarbonate polar or non polar?
Sodium bicarbonate is ionic and would therefore be considered polar.
Would blood be a better buffer if it contained more carbonic acid or sodium bicarbonate?
It would be better if it contained sodium bicarbonate because it wouldn't be as runny.
What compound has the formula NaHCO3?
This would be sodium bicarbonate.
What is the weight of sodium bicarbonate?
That would depend on how much you have to weigh.
What does sodium bicarbonate do to you?
Make sure you're not confusing Bicarbonate (which is naturally produced in the human body by the pancreas) with Sodium Bicarbonate (which is not). Bicarbonate ( HCO3− ) is an alkaline that acts as a buffer to maintain the normal levels of acidity (pH) in blood and other fluids in the body. Bicarbonate levels are measured to monitor the acidity of the blood and body fluids. The acidity is affected by the function of the kidneys and lungs. 70%-75% of CO2 in the body is converted into carbonic acid (H2CO3) which can quickly turn into bicarbonate. Acidity is also affected by medications and food we ingest. Bicarbonate is released by the pancreas into the intestines. There it quickly neutralizes any acid that escapes from the stomach into the intestines before it can cause damage.Sodium Bicarbonate( NaHCO3 ) is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of baking soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is known as "nahcolite", but it is also produced artificially. Sodium Bicarbonate has many different applications, used in everything from cooking and cleaning...to putting out fires (NaHCO3 is the component in dry chemical fire extinguishers). In the human body, sodium bicarbonate is used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. An aqueous solution can be administered intravenously for cases of acidosis (low pH), or when there are insufficient sodium or bicarbonate ions in the blood.
What is the chemical reaction in the body for lithium bicarbonate?
If it exists, it would most likely mimic that of sodium bicarbonate; only experiments would determine if the same applies for potassium bicarbonate.
2What is the formula for sodium bicarbonate?
I assume you mean you want the molecular formula for sodium bicarbonate - if you wanted a balanced equation, you would need another substance to react with But sodium bicarbonate = NaHCO3 While the above answer is help full I am going to assume that the question was what is the balanced equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. 2NaHCO3--> Na2CO3+CO2+H2O in further detail the reaction for this formula is not decomposition; it is, in fact, combustion because of the carbon dioxide and water in the products of the equation.
What is the dosage per pound in a dog for sodium bicarbonate?
Dogs are not usually given sodium bicarbonate. It would be best to contact your Vet to determine the best course of treatment for whatever symptoms your dog is experiencing.
Is sodium bicarbonate is same as cooking soda or baking soda?
Yes. I hve seeen some baking sodas blended with a little cornstarch for some reason, so that would not be pure sodium bicarbonate . . .
What is the another name for anhydrous sodium bicarbonate?
another name would be baking soda
How many teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate is 700 mg?
One absolutely level teaspoon of finely powdered dry sodium bicarbonate weighs approximately three grams, so a quarter of a level teaspoon would weigh about 750mg
Can sodium bicarbonate cure cancer?
if that were possible than this world would be cancer -free!!! No of course NOT!!!
