hidrogénkarbonátiont
The hidrogénkarbonátiont, also known as the bicarbonate ion, is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula HCO3-. It is a common and important species in both natural and industrial processes. It is formed when a carbonate ion (CO3^2-) accepts a proton (H+), or when carbonic acid (H2CO3) loses a proton. In aqueous solutions, it exists in equilibrium with dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonate ions, a process crucial for buffering pH.
The bicarbonate ion is amphoteric, meaning it can act as both an acid and a base. As
In geological contexts, the hidrogénkarbonátiont plays a significant role in the weathering of rocks, especially those
