How would you complete this Bronsted-Lowrt reaction? #HCO_3^(-) (aq)+ H^(+) (aq) rightleftharpoons ?# Chemistry Acids and Bases Brønsted–Lowry Acids and Bases 1 Answer anor277 Dec 4, 2016 #HCO_3^(-) + H^(+)(aq) rightleftharpoonsH_2O(l) + CO_2(g)uarr# Explanation: Alternatively, #HCO_3^(-) + H^(+)(aq) rightleftharpoonsH_2CO_3(aq)# #H_2CO_3# is so-called #"carbonic acid"#; which is probably better represented as #H_2O*CO_2(aq)#. You could not buy a bottle of the same, though you could make solutions of #CO_2#, which we typically do when we make a carbonated drink.
