It's a salt.
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.
Carbonate (CO32-) is a weak (double) base, it can accept two protons (in 2 steps).CO32- + H+ HCO3-HCO3- + H+ H2CO3
Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid. It is a fairly weak acid compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid.
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.
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.

It is a weak 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.
Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.
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.
A strong acid dissociates more completely than a weak acid.
When weak acids react with strong acids, the strong acid will donate a proton to the weak acid, resulting in the weak acid being protonated. This protonation increases the concentration of the weak acid cation. The conjugate base of the weak acid is formed as a result.
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.
