When a sample containing the hydrogen carbonate ion, HCO3-, for this experiment sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, is allowed to react with nitric acid, carbon dioxide gas, CO2 (g) and liquid water, H2O (l) is released. You will use the formation of bubbles of CO2 gas to indicate that the hydrogen carbonate ion is present. Create a balanced equation of this reaction

This is the balanced reaction for  the experiment

NaHCO₃ +  HNO₃ →  CO₂ + NaNO₃ + H₂O

Explanation:

These are other equations from the reactions:

HCO₃⁻  +  H₂O ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  CO₃⁻²

CO₃⁻² +  2HNO₃ → H₂O + CO₂ + 2NO₃⁻

Carbonates reacts with acids to produce water and carbon dioxide.

The nitrate bonds the cation sodium to make the salt.

NaHCO3 → Na⁺  + HCO₃⁻

HNO₃ → NO₃⁻ + H⁺

Na⁺ + NO₃⁻ → NaNO₃

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
