This is an example of a double displacement reaction. The anion from the strong acid (usually fully dissociated in water) and the bicarbonate anion (along with it's cation) "switch" with each other (I know the wording is a bit crude..).
Take the commonly quoted example of hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate.
HCl + NaHCO3 → NaCl + H2CO3
The salt, sodium chloride in this case, dissociates in the water, and the carbonic acid breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide. So really, the reaction is:
HCl + NaHCO3 → NaCl + H2O + CO2
What else can I help you with?
What happens when carbonic acid sodium and sodium bicarbonate buffers a base?
When carbonic acid/sodium bicarbonate buffer system encounters a base, it reacts with it to form water and a weak acid (in this case, bicarbonate ions). This helps to minimize the change in pH by neutralizing the added base and maintaining the overall pH of the solution.
Is bicarbonate an acid?
Bicarbonate is a weak base, not an acid.
What happens When the carbonic acid-sodium bicarbonate buffer pair buffers lactic acid?
When the carbonic acid-sodium bicarbonate buffer pair buffers lactic acid, the carbonic acid in the buffer donates hydrogen ions to neutralize the lactic acid, forming more bicarbonate ions. This helps maintain the pH of the solution within a normal range by minimizing changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Is bicarbonate a base or an acid?
Bicarbonate is a base.
Is bicarbonate an acid or a base?
Bicarbonate is a base.

What happens when bicarbonate reacts with a strong acid?
CO2 is released.
Is bicarbonate an acid?
Bicarbonate is a weak base, not an acid.
When sulphuric acid is added to sodium bicarbonate why does the colour change?
this makes sodium sulphate and CO2
Is bicarbonate a base or an acid?
Bicarbonate is a base.
Is bicarbonate an acid or a base?
Bicarbonate is a base.
What happens When the carbonic acid-sodium bicarbonate buffer pair buffers lactic acid?
When the carbonic acid-sodium bicarbonate buffer pair buffers lactic acid, the carbonic acid in the buffer donates hydrogen ions to neutralize the lactic acid, forming more bicarbonate ions. This helps maintain the pH of the solution within a normal range by minimizing changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
What happens when carbonic acid sodium bicarbonate buffer pair buffer an acid?
the pH of the blood drops slightly
What happens to magensuim when it is added to acid?
it desolves
What is the name of the substance when sodium bicarbonate is added to acetic acid?
Sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water are the products.
What are the three buffers found in the human blood?
They include: -Carbonic acid + bicarbonate -Acid/alkali Na salts of phosphoric acid -Plasma proteins + bases
What happens to basalt when acid is added?
nothing it has no calcite
