HCO3^(-) is the bi-carbonate ( or hydrogen carbonate) anion.

It is usually found in baking powder as 'Sodium bi-carbonate' ( NaHCO3)

NB When writing chemical symbols, it is the international recognoised standard to write single letter symbol with a CAPITAL letter, and two letter symbols as ; 1sr letter a capital ltter and second letter as small/lower case.

Hence you Hco3 ' shoukld read 'HCO3'.
