In the reaction co32- H2O -- hco3- oh- the carbonate ion is acting as an a arrhenius base b arrhenius acid c bronsted-lowry base d bronsted-lowry acid?

The Bronsted-Lowry definition describes acids as being proton (H+) donators and bases as being proton acceptors. So the answer would be C, because the carbonate anion is accepting a proton (H+ cation) to become the HCO3-

What does the compound above the arrow mean?
It is a catalyst acting on the chemical reaction.
Which molecule is acting as an acid is the following reaction H2O plus H2SO4 H3O plus plus HSO4?
In this case the H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is acting as an acid. The acid loses a hydrogen ion, and the base gains one.
How do you speed up an enzyme reaction?
By adding more substance that the enzyme is acting upon, it forces that enzyme to be faster in order to complete the process.
What acid creates the reaction of ammonia?
I think you mean, which acid on reaction creates ammonia. Consider the following reaction.NH(4)(+) + OH(-) NH(3) + H(2)O [In equilibrium]Here since NH(4)(+) is losing H+ ion, it is acting as an acid.
What is the difference between agglutinogens and agglutinin?
When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutininAgglutinogens are1. any substance that, acting as an antigen, stimulates the production of agglutinin.2. the particulate antigen used in conducting agglutination tests.
When a person goes with their first reaction they are seaid to be acting on an?
They are acting on an impulse.
When an enzyme affects a chemical reaction it its acting as a biological?
It is acting as a biological catalyst.
If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?
friction is the reaction to motion
What are some reactions of acids acting on a carbonate?
HCL (hydrochloric acid found in the stomach) and sodium bicarbonate (found in antacids).
What does the compound above the arrow mean?
It is a catalyst acting on the chemical reaction.
What does it means if an enzyme is a catalyst?
Enzyme will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction increases or acting as a catalyst.
What is a protein that catalyze chemical reaction for organism?
Enzymes are proteins acting as catalysts for organism.
Are weight and normal force action-reaction pairs?
no because they are acting on the same thing
What equilibrium system has HCO3- acting as a Brønsted-Lowry base?
the entire chemical system of the carbonate ion is as follows CO3 (2-) <------> HCO3 (-) <-------> H2CO3 by adding amounts of base or acid to a solution containing either the carbonate or bicarbonate ion will shift chemical equilibrium, more towards the formation of carbonate with base and more towards carbonic acid with the acid. carbonic acid however is incredibly unstable and quickly decomposes to form water and carbon dioxide H2CO3 ----> H2O + CO2 By the addition of acid to a carbonate system the equilibrium is driven to the right and carbonic acid is formed. Due to its instability it then decomposes. This is why the baking soda and vinegar reaction forms copious amounts of bubbles.
What is d'alembert's principle?
the principle that resultant of the external forces and kinetic reaction acting forces is zero
When you are opening a classroom door what are the forces acting on it and how are they balanced out so that the door doesn't?
action an reaction
What is feeling detached from your friends a sign of?
My first reaction would be to say that it is you, not other people, who is acting differently.
