Bicarbonate Ion → Calcium bicarbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbonic acid sometimes separates into a univalent hydrogen cation (H+) and a univalent bicarbonate anion (HCO3−). The free hydrogen cations combine with the free hydroxide anions formed by the separation of the calcium hydroxide created by the reaction of calcium oxide with water described above, and the free calcium cations combine with the free bicarbonate anions to form calcium bicarbonate:
