Carbon trioxide is an unstable oxide of carbon, and is in the form of gas. so no co3 is not an acid
H2CO3---------- 2 H+ + (CO3)2-
6HCl + Al2(CO3)3 ==> 2AlCl3 + 3CO2 + 3H2O
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This transfer of protons characterizes the reaction, distinguishing it from other acid-base theories. As a result, the acid converts into its conjugate base, while the base becomes its conjugate acid. This framework highlights the dynamic nature of acid-base interactions in various chemical reactions.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
it's base
Considering that CO3, or carbonic ACID, this substance would be considered an acid. * actually, whoever wrote this is wrong. CO3-2 is the conjugate base of a weak acid (HCO3-, bicarbonate) K2CO3 is actually a base. and CO3, isn't called carbonic acid, it is called carbonate.
The conjugate acid of CO3^2- is HCO3^-. It is formed by accepting a proton (H+) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).
Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
Carbonic acid, H2CO3
The conjugate base of HCO3- is CO32-. Conjugates always differ by one H+. A conjugate base has one fewer H+, while a conjugate acid has one more H+.
HSO3-
The conjugate base of HCO3 is CO3^2-.
H2CO3---------- 2 H+ + (CO3)2-
When CO3 reacts with H+ ion, it produces carbonic acid (H2CO3).
CO3 - The elements present in this are one carbon atom and three oxygen atoms, CO3 is a base, the name of it is carbonate, K2CO3 = potasium carbonate
Bicarbonate is - Co3 and Acid is - HA Hc03
