The bicarbonate ion is a base because it's a proton acceptor, that being one of the definitions of a base.

Which one of the following is considered a weak base sodium hydroxide acetic acid sodium bicarbonate or hydrochloric acid?
Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base.
What chemicals do antacid contain?
An antacid usually contains some sort of base. One antacid, milk of magnesia, is magnesium hydroxide. Other antacids include aluminum hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate.
Is KO2 an acid or base?
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is a base. Bases contain hydroxide (OH) while acids contain hydrogen (H).
How many different elements are in ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH?
Ammonium hydroxide contain: N, H, O - 3 elements.
What is the base found in Drano?
Drano contain sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Which one of the following is considered a weak base sodium hydroxide acetic acid sodium bicarbonate or hydrochloric acid?
Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base.
Can hydroxide and bicarbonate present together?
Yes. Since the bicarbonate ion is a weak base its presence in water will slightly elevate the hydroxide ion concentration.
What chemicals do antacid contain?
An antacid usually contains some sort of base. One antacid, milk of magnesia, is magnesium hydroxide. Other antacids include aluminum hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate.
What are three examples of base?
Sodium hydroxide Sodium carbonate Sodium bicarbonate

How many different elements are in ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH?
Ammonium hydroxide contain: N, H, O - 3 elements.
What is the base found in Drano?
Drano contain sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
What acid is in magnesium hydroxide?
Magnesium hydroxide is not an acid nor does it contain one. Like other hydroxides it is a base.
Does a base contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution?
Some bases, such as sodium and potassium hydroxides, contain hydroxide ions even in solid form. Others, such as ammonia, produce hydroxide in solution but do not contain any such ions when in pure form.
What ion produce in base solution?
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
Is Mg(OH)2 an acid base or a salt?
MgOH is certainly not an acid, as it does not contain the H+ ion which characterisies an acid. It is more of base, characterised by the hydroxyl ion (OH-). However it is not a very strong base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
NaOH base or acid?
Sodium hydroxide is basic.
