The carbon-oxygen single bond in a carboxylic acid
NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.
HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.
<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>
If an an element has an atomic number of 60, then there would me 60 protons.
Something that helps me is APE.
The atomic number is the same as the number of protons and electrons.
