Carbonate vs. Bicarbonate

Carbonatenoun

Any salt or ester of carbonic acid.

Carbonateverb

(transitive) To charge (often a beverage) with carbon dioxide.

Carbonatenoun

A salt or carbonic acid, as in limestone, some forms of lead ore, etc.

Carbonatenoun

a salt or ester of carbonic acid (containing the anion CO3)

Carbonateverb

treat with carbon dioxide;

Carbonateverb

turn into a carbonate

Carbonatenoun

a salt of the anion CO₃²⁻, typically by reaction with carbon dioxide.

Carbonateverb

dissolve carbon dioxide in (a liquid).

Carbonateverb

convert into a carbonate.

Carbonate

In chemistry, a carbonate is a salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3), characterized by the presence of the carbonate ion, a polyatomic ion with the formula of CO2−3. The name may also refer to a carbonate ester, an organic compound containing the carbonate group C(=O)(O–)2.

Bicarbonatenoun

(chemistry) the univalent anion HCO3-; any salt of carbonic acid in which only one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced.

Bicarbonatenoun

sodium bicarbonate used as a mild antacid; bicarbonate of soda

Bicarbonatenoun

A carbonate in which but half the hydrogen of the acid is replaced by a positive element or radical, thus making the proportion of the acid to the positive or basic portion twice what it is in the normal carbonates; an acid carbonate; - sometimes called supercarbonate.

Bicarbonatenoun

a salt of carbonic acid (containing the anion HCO3) in which one hydrogen atom has been replaced; an acid carbonate

Bicarbonate

In inorganic chemistry, bicarbonate (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogen carbonate) is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. It is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula HCO−3.
