Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, sometimes called sodium hydrogen carbonate. It is an ionic compound with an ionic formula of Na+ HCO3-
It is used as a baking powder as it decomposes above 700C quickly at 2000C
2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
The CO2 causes the cake to rise!
It is mildly alkaline and reacts with acids.
For example with hydrochloric acid the reaction is :-
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2(g)
It has many related names such as baking soda,bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In colloquial usage, its name is sometimes shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb.
What else can I help you with?
Calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate make what stone?
Calcium carbonate makes limestone, while magnesium carbonate makes dolomite.
Which is more soluble in water sodium carbonate naphthalene or calcium carbonate?
Sodium carbonate is more soluble in water than calcium carbonate and naphthalene. Sodium carbonate is a water-soluble salt, while calcium carbonate is sparingly soluble in water, and naphthalene is insoluble in water.
Is limestone a carbonate?
Yes, limestone is a carbonate rock composed mainly of the mineral calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate.
Chemical formula of sodium carbonate?
Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3(the more familiar compound, baking soda, is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3)
What is the formula for cesium carbonate?
The chemical formula for cesium carbonate is Cs2CO3. It consists of two cesium (Cs) ions and one carbonate (CO3) ion.
What is the name of this ternary salt cu2co3?
copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
Which of these is a carbonate?
Carbonate is a salt or ester of carbonic acid that contains the carbonate ion (CO3^2-). Examples of carbonates include calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and potassium carbonate (K2CO3).
What is the name and formula of carbonates?
MeCO3 where Me is a metal.Ex.: sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, uranyl carbonate, etc.
What is the use of carbonate?
Each carbonate has specific applications. Please mention a carbonate.
How would you separate water sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate?
To separate water, sodium carbonate, and calcium carbonate, you could first evaporate the water to leave behind the dry sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate. Next, you could use solubility differences to further separate the sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate; calcium carbonate is insoluble in water while sodium carbonate is soluble. So, you could dissolve the mixture in water, filter it to remove the calcium carbonate, and then evaporate the water to obtain the sodium carbonate.
Is CO2 a carbonate?
No. A carbonate is a substance that contains either the carbonate ion or the bicarbonate ion.
What do carbon minerals contain?
Most carbonate minerals are either calcium carbonate (limestone) or a mixture of calcium carbonate with magnesium carbonate (dolomite). However other metals can also combine with carbonate to produce much rarer carbonate minerals.
What are the three common metal carbonates?
Sodium Carbonate Potassium carbonate Lithium carbonate Magnesium carbonate
Calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate make what stone?
Calcium carbonate makes limestone, while magnesium carbonate makes dolomite.
What is the formula for carbon carbonate?
A carbon carbonate don't exist. Thew ion carbonate is CO3-; a metal carbonate has the chemical formula MeCO3.
Is sodium hydrogen carbonate a weaker base than sodium carbonate?
Yes: hydrogen carbonate is a stronger acid, and therefore a weaker base, than carbonate.
