NaOH is a strong base and bicarbonate buffer is made up a weak carbonic acid H₂CO₃ and its conjugate base HCO₃⁻ bicarbonate ion. The hydroxyl ion, OH- reacts with the H⁺ from the bicarbonate to form water.

Dissociation of carbonic acid:

H₂CO₃  → H⁺ + HCO₃⁻

HCO₃⁻ → H⁺ + CO₃²⁻

Dissociation of sodium hydroxide:

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

Neutralization reaction:

OH⁻ + H⁺ → H₂O

Answer:

Groups like the Halogens, which include Chlorine and Flourine, share similar properties both behaviorally and structurally. The Periodic Table is essentially a bunch of patterns and trends and the groups (like the one with Sodium and Potassium) were grouped together because of these similarities.
