  2. Bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate

    In inorganic chemistry, bicarbonate (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogencarbonate [2]) is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. 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]

  3. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    The natural mineral form is nahcolite, although it is more commonly found as a component of the mineral trona. [ 10 ] As it has long been known and widely used, the salt has many different names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, brewing soda and bicarbonate of soda and can often be found near baking powder in stores.

  4. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    Catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase, carbon dioxide (CO 2) reacts with water (H 2 O) to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), which in turn rapidly dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion (HCO − 3 ) and a hydrogen ion (H + ) as shown in the following reaction: [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

  5. Total inorganic carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_inorganic_carbon

    The aquatic inorganic carbon system is composed of the various ionic, dissolved, solid, and/or gaseous forms of carbon dioxide in water. These species include dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, bicarbonate anion, carbonate anion, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and others. The relative amounts of each species in a body of water ...

  6. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    In chemistry, the term "carbonic acid" strictly refers to the chemical compound with the formula H 2 CO 3. Some biochemistry literature effaces the distinction between carbonic acid and carbon dioxide dissolved in extracellular fluid. In physiology, carbon dioxide excreted by the lungs may be called volatile acid or respiratory acid.

  7. List of chemical compounds with unusual names - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_compounds...

    Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...

    The FDA determined that the data presented in a 2022 color additive petition show that this ingredient causes cancer in male laboratory rats exposed to high levels of FD&C Red No. 3 because of a ...

  9. Dissolved inorganic carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_inorganic_carbon

    Aqueous carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid which is very unstable and will dissociate rapidly into hydronium and bicarbonate. Therefore, in seawater, dissolved inorganic carbon is commonly referred to as the collection of bicarbonate, carbonate ions, and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2, H 2 CO 3, HCO − 3, CO 2− 3).
