Bicarbonate of soda is a white powder which is used in baking to make cakes rise, and also as a medicine for your stomach. a chemical substance used especially in baking, and sometimes taken with water as a medicine = baking soda. or sodium bicarbonate or baking soda Inorganic compound, white, crystalline salt of sodium, chemical formula NaHCO3. It is a weak base and dissociates into water and carbon dioxide gas as it dissolves in the presence of hydrogen ions. In addition to household uses as an antacid, cleaner, and deodorizer, it is used in manufacturing effervescent salts and beverages and baking powder. Industrial uses include production of other sodium salts, treatment of wool and silk, and use in pharmaceuticals, sponge rubber, fire extinguishers, cleaners, lab reagents, mouthwash, and gold and platinum plating
the univalent anion HCO3; any salt of carbonic acid in which only one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced
A substance that is normally present in the blood which is measured in the biochemistry blood test A low blood level of bicarbonate shows there is too much acid in the blood
Electrolyte fluid which is used to normalise the body's acidity level Most renal patients are acidotic and are dialysed with bicarbonate
Essential for regulating vital functions and one of the important buffers necessary to maintain normal acid-base balance in the body Body metabolism results in mainly acid production, and neutralizing some of such acids is its constant activity, thus it plays a key role in metabolic acidosis or alkalosis Bicarbonate may be lost through watery feces, or can decrease when lungs cannot expel carbon dioxide
the univalent anion HCO{3}; any salt of carbonic acid in which only one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced
A substance that may be given to an infant to neutralize excess acid in the blood
a salt of carbonic acid (containing the anion HCO3) in which one hydrogen atom has been replaced; an acid carbonate
an acidic sodium salt (formula: NaHCO3) of carbonic acid having buffer properties
In acid-base determinations the concentration (in milliequivalents per liter) of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is calculated from the PCO2 and pH Because it is also altered by both the respiratory and the metabolic components (see below under Physiology), it cannot be an ideal measure of either
A salt of carbonic acid (i e HCO3) Having an HCO3 group, such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
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
