Which acid is weaker HNO3 or HCO3?

HCO3 (bicarbonate) is weaker than HNO3 (nitric acid). Bicarbonate is a weak acid, while nitric acid is a strong acid. This means that nitric acid completely ionizes in water, while bicarbonate only partially ionizes.


Is sodium carbonate a weak acid or a weak base?

Carbonate (CO32-) is a weak (double) base, it can accept two protons (in 2 steps).CO32- + H+ HCO3-HCO3- + H+ H2CO3


H2CO3 a strong or weak electrolyte?

H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is a weak electrolyte. It partially dissociates into H+ and HCO3- ions in solution, meaning it conducts electricity to a lesser extent compared to strong electrolytes which fully dissociate into ions.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid. It is a fairly weak acid compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid.


Is HCO3 a acid?

No, H2CO3 is considered to be a weak acid. In regards to aqueous solutions where H2O3 would be present, weak acids are determined by ones that dissociates into ions.


Is the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid?

NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.


Is MgCl2 a weak or strong acid?

It is a weak acid


What weak base in combination with its weak acid helps to buffer blood pH?

The weak base bicarbonate (HCO3-) in conjunction with the weak acid carbonic acid (H2CO3) works to help buffer blood pH. The carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system helps to maintain the pH of blood within a narrow range despite fluctuations in acidity or alkalinity.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.


What is the chemical reaction that takes place in the bicarbonate buffer system?

Bicarbonate can react with hydrogen ions to form carbonic acid, which combines with water to produce carbon dioxide and more water. The carbon dioxide is expired through the lungs thus helping maintain pH equilibrium in the body.


What makes a strong acid differ from a weak acid?

A strong acid dissociates more completely than a weak acid.


HCO3- is acid or base?

Oh, dude, HCO3- is a bicarbonate ion, which can act as both an acid and a base depending on the context. It can accept a proton and act as a base, or it can donate a proton and act as an acid. So, like, it's a bit of a flip-flopper in the world of chemistry.
