  2. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    3 exist in aqueous solutions subjected to pressures of multiple gigapascals (tens of thousands of atmospheres) in planetary interiors. [17] [18] Pressures of 0.6–1.6 GPa at 100 K, and 0.75–1.75 GPa at 300 K are attained in the cores of large icy satellites such as Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan, where water and carbon dioxide are present ...

  3. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Atomic numbers (Z) are a special case of charge numbers, referring to the charge number of an atomic nucleus, as opposed to the net charge of an atom or ion. The charge numbers for ions (and also subatomic particles ) are written in superscript, e.g., Na + is a sodium ion with charge number positive one (an electric charge of one elementary ...

    It is equal to 6.1. [HCO − 3] is the concentration of bicarbonate in the blood [H 2 CO 3] is the concentration of carbonic acid in the blood; When describing arterial blood gas, the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is usually quoted in terms of pCO 2, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, rather than H 2 CO 3 concentration.

  5. Bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    3. The bicarbonate ion carries a negative one formal charge and is an amphiprotic species which has both acidic and basic properties. It is both the conjugate base of carbonic acid H 2 CO 3; and the conjugate acid of CO 2− 3, the carbonate ion, as shown by these equilibrium reactions: CO 2− 3 + 2 H 2 O ⇌ HCO − 3 + H 2 O + OH − ⇌ H 2 ...

  6. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    The −1 occurs because each carbon is bonded to one hydrogen atom (a less electronegative element), and the − ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ because the total ionic charge of −1 is divided among five equivalent carbons. Again this can be described as a resonance hybrid of five equivalent structures, each having four carbons with oxidation state −1 and ...

  7. Carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate

    It has a molecular mass of 60.01 g/mol and carries a total formal charge of −2. It is the conjugate base of the hydrogencarbonate (bicarbonate) [8] ion, HCO − 3, which is the conjugate base of H 2 CO 3, carbonic acid.

  8. Carbonic anhydrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase

    In step 3), a proton transfer (H +) occurs from the OH −1 to the non-coordinated O − in CO 3 −2 coordinated to the Zn +2 atom in the active site. Next, a bicarbonate ion is released and the catalytic site is regenerated through the binding of another water molecule in exchange for the bicarbonate ion .

  9. Formal charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_charge

    [1] [2] In simple terms, formal charge is the difference between the number of valence electrons of an atom in a neutral free state and the number assigned to that atom in a Lewis structure. When determining the best Lewis structure (or predominant resonance structure ) for a molecule, the structure is chosen such that the formal charge on each ...
