H2CO3 is stronger, meaning that the 1st H+ is easier to remove.
HCO3- is weaker because the 2nd H+ must be removed from a negative ion (which attracts the H+).

When HCO3- acts as a bronsted base what is formed?

When HCO3- acts as a Bronsted base, it accepts a proton (H+) to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid).


What is the Conjugate base of H2co3?

The conjugate base of H2CO3 is HCO3-. When H2CO3 donates a proton, it forms the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), resulting in the conjugate base of the acid.

What is the first ionization for H2CO3 in aqueous solution?

H2CO3 is atype of ionization which depend on two steps as following :H2CO3 H+ + HCO3- HCO3- H+ + CO3-2


In the h2co3 - hco3 buffering system the pka 6.10 as the normal pH of blood is 7.4 is there more h2co3 or na hco3?

In blood at pH 7.4, there is more bicarbonate (HCO3-) because the pKa of carbonic acid (H2CO3) is lower than the blood pH, favoring the dissociation of H2CO3 into HCO3-. The bicarbonate acts as a buffer to help maintain blood pH within a normal range.


What is Ka for H2CO3 aq H aq HCO3 aq?

Ka= [h+][HCO3-]/[H2CO3]


What is the conjugate acid of HCO3- and why?

The conjugated acid of HCO3- is: H2CO3, carbonic acid.Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ ONE (1) proton (H+): The acid WITH and the base WITHOUT it.So, on the other hand the conjugated base of HCO3- is: CO32-, carbonate.


What is H plus HCO3?

I think you mean H+ + HCO3- --> H2CO3

What equilibrium system has HCO3 acting as a Brnsted Lowry base?

HCO3 acts as a Brønsted-Lowry base in the bicarbonate buffer system, which consists of the equilibrium between carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) in aqueous solution. In this system, HCO3- accepts a proton (H+) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).
