How is sodium bicarbonate distinguished from sodium carbonate based on the pH values?
pH of a equi-molar solution of Na-carbonate is much higher ( >10 mostly) than of the same Na-bicarbonate (pH roughly 8).The first contains a (bi-ionic) double base: CO32-while the 2nd contains one mono-acid and a mono-basic (ampholyte) ion: HCO3-
Can you use sodium bisulfate to lower TA?
Sodium bisulfate (AKA sodium hydrogen sulfate or sodium acid sulfate) is an acid that will lower pH. If you lower the pH of a swimming pool buffered with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maybe cyanuric acid (stabilizer), your alkalinity will go down, along with the pH. But usually, what people want is to lower the alkalinity (or TA) without lowering the pH. When you lower the pH on a carbonate buffered pool, you convert some of the carbonates into carbonic acid, where they no longer contribute to the measured alkalinity. But, as soon as you raise your pH, the carbonic acid switches back to carbonate, and your TA goes right back up with the pH. To actually LOWER the alkalinity, you have to lower the pH, and then REMOVE some of the carbonic acid, which you can do be aerating the pool, since carbonic acid is a form of carbon dioxide gas.
How do you raise the pH levels in your pool?
raising the pH level of the swimming poolThe recommended pH-range for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. To raise or lower pH, alkali such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will added to the water. thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
What is the common use for sodium carbonate?
Sodium carbonate is an odorless, white, alkaline powder that is used by manufacturers in making soap and glass. Sodium carbonate is somewhat similar to sodium bicarbonate in terms of their chemical composition; the difference is that sodium bicarbonate is a household item which may be used in cooking while sodium carbonate is used for cleaning.
Why is bicarbonate of soda alkaline?
Its ability to accept protons (basic property) is somewhat stronger (lower pK-value) than its proton donating property (very weak acid, higher pKa):base: HCO3- + H+ ---> H2CO3 pKb=7.64acid : HCO3- -> H+ + CO32- pKa=10.25As proof of this the pH value of a pure sodium bicarbonate is just above 7: pH about 8.0
Will bicarbonate lower pH?
Yes, because sodium bicarbonate solution is basic.
What is the Difference of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate for treating swimming pool PH?
No it cannot. Sodium bicarb has a ph of 8.4. To lower ph you would need to use a dry acid (sodium bisulphate) or muriatic acid. City water is normally treated and has a ph of 7.5 but it would take a large amount of fresh water to lower the ph of a pool.

What does sodium bicarbonate do to you?
Make sure you're not confusing Bicarbonate (which is naturally produced in the human body by the pancreas) with Sodium Bicarbonate (which is not). Bicarbonate ( HCO3− ) is an alkaline that acts as a buffer to maintain the normal levels of acidity (pH) in blood and other fluids in the body. Bicarbonate levels are measured to monitor the acidity of the blood and body fluids. The acidity is affected by the function of the kidneys and lungs. 70%-75% of CO2 in the body is converted into carbonic acid (H2CO3) which can quickly turn into bicarbonate. Acidity is also affected by medications and food we ingest. Bicarbonate is released by the pancreas into the intestines. There it quickly neutralizes any acid that escapes from the stomach into the intestines before it can cause damage.Sodium Bicarbonate( NaHCO3 ) is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of baking soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is known as "nahcolite", but it is also produced artificially. Sodium Bicarbonate has many different applications, used in everything from cooking and cleaning...to putting out fires (NaHCO3 is the component in dry chemical fire extinguishers). In the human body, sodium bicarbonate is used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. An aqueous solution can be administered intravenously for cases of acidosis (low pH), or when there are insufficient sodium or bicarbonate ions in the blood.
How can you use sodium metabisulfite to lower the PH of your swimming pool when it also neutralizes the chlorine?
No. You will also get a bad smell or odor from your pool water. Where did you get this idea????
What elements are in NaHCo3?
Well, to begin, there's a difference between nahco3 and NaHCO3, which is its chemical formula. The letters represent elements where a capital letter, sometimes followed by a lower case letter represents an element.== So, in NaHCO3, the elements are Sodium (Na), Hydrogen (H), carbon (C) and Oxygen (O). The 3 after the O means there are 3 atoms of Oxygen per molecule. The rest are only 1 per molecule, so don't need a number. In total that is 6 atoms in 1 molecule NaHCO3 is a white solid, which can be a powder or also in crystal form. It is also called (scientifically) Sodium Bicarbonate or (commonly) Bicarbonate of Soda. This is the way atoms are arranged in a sodium bicarbonate molecule: Carbon in the middle, joined by 3 separate bonds to: 1. An atom of Oxygen, which is further joined to an atom of sodium 2. An atom of Oxygen, joined to a Hydrogen atom 3. The last Oxygen atom

How can I get my sodium levels lower?
You can get your sodium levels lower by eating less salty foods.
