The question is wrong. H2CO3 is formed when we introduce CO2 in water. H2CO3 can't exist in non-aqueous solutions, can't be a solid nor a gas. So we can't dissolve it in water. And H2CO3 is definitely an acid. A weak one, but still an acid.
By the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, a conjugate base is a product when an acid dissociates. For carbonic acid, this means that CO3- ions have a probability of acting as a base by taking H+ from hydronium ions in solution.
H3O+ + CO32- <=> HCO3- + H2O
This is how an antacid works, for example.
This effect is most important for buffer solutions, when a weak acid is mixed with a soluble salt that has the same anion.
What else can I help you with?
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 conjugate base for H2C03?
The conjugate base of H2CO3 is HCO3-. It is formed when H2CO3 donates a proton (H+) in a reaction.
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 conjugate base of H2CO3?
There is no such ion as H2CO3- However, the neutral molecule H2CO3 exists. Its conjugate base is the bicarbonate, or hydrogen carbonate ion: HCO3- The conjugate base of the bicarbonate ion is the carbonate ion: CO32-
Is HCO3 a weak or strong acid?
HCO3 is not an acid, but a base. It is the conjugate base of the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid). In water, it can act as a weak base by accepting a proton to form H2CO3.

HCO3 is not an acid, but a base. It is the conjugate base of the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid). In water, it can act as a weak base by accepting a proton to form 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 a base h2CO3 HNO3 Or Ca (OH)2?
Ca(OH)2 is a base known as calcium hydroxide. H2CO3 is a weak acid known as carbonic acid, whereas HNO3 is a strong acid known as nitric acid.
What is the body's buffering system?
Carbonic acid( H2CO3 ) and its conjugate base bicarbonate[ HCO3(-) ].
What can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?
A weak acid or its conjugate base can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer. Suitable options could be sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or a weak acid like acetic acid (CH3COOH).
C02 plus H20 is a base?
No, it forms an acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
Is H2CO3 a base acid or salt?
H2CO3 is an acid, specifically a weak acid known as carbonic acid. It is formed from the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water.
The conjugate acid of HCO3- is?
You mean,HCO3 - = bicarbonateH2CO3 = carbonic acid and the conjugate of the above base.
