  2. Bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate

    It is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula H C O − 3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical role in the physiological pH buffering system. [3] The term "bicarbonate" was coined in 1814 by the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston. [4] [5] The name lives on as a trivial name.

  3. Magnesium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_bicarbonate

    Mg(CH 3 COO) 2 + 2 NaHCO 3 → Mg(HCO 3) 2 + 2 CH 3 COONa. Magnesium bicarbonate exists only in aqueous solution. Magnesium does not form solid bicarbonate as does lithium. To produce it, a suspension of magnesium hydroxide is treated with pressurized carbon dioxide, producing a solution of magnesium bicarbonate: [1] Mg(OH) 2 + 2 CO 2 → Mg ...

  4. Calcium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_bicarbonate

    Calcium bicarbonate, also called calcium hydrogencarbonate, has the chemical formula Ca(HCO 3) 2. The term does not refer to a known solid compound; it exists only in aqueous solution containing calcium (Ca 2+), bicarbonate (HCO − 3), and carbonate (CO 2− 3) ions, together with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2).

  5. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.

  6. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    It is based on the observation that there is twice as much carbonate (CO 3 −2) per sodium in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3) as there is in sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3). [13] The modern chemical formulas of these compounds now express their precise chemical compositions which were unknown when the name bi-carbonate of potash was coined (see also ...

  7. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    The bicarbonate buffer system is an acid-base homeostatic mechanism involving the balance of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), bicarbonate ion (HCO − 3 ), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in order to maintain pH in the blood and duodenum , among other tissues, to support proper metabolic function. [ 1 ]

  8. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    Carbonic acid is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2 C O 3.The molecule rapidly converts to water and carbon dioxide in the presence of water. However, in the absence of water, it is quite stable at room temperature.

  9. Potassium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bicarbonate

    Potassium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: potassium hydrogencarbonate, also known as potassium acid carbonate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO 3. It is a white solid. [1] A fire extinguisher containing potassium bicarbonate
