The 16 pages that link to Bicarbonate, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbonic acidRelated: It is the main product when carbonic acid donates a proton in water.

• Gastric acidCompared with: Bicarbonate neutralizes acid in the mucus layer and in the duodenum.

• SalivaRelated: Bicarbonate in saliva helps neutralize acids in the mouth.

• AlkalinityBroader topic: It is usually the largest contributor to alkalinity in natural waters.

• Sodium bicarbonateNarrower topic: This ion is sodium bicarbonate’s reactive anion and the source of its acid–base behavior.

• HydroxideCompared with: Bicarbonate is a basic anion in some reactions, but unlike hydroxide it contains carbon.

• CarbonateRelated: It is carbonate’s principal protonated partner in aqueous chemistry.

• AnionBroader topic: Its acid–base reactions let bicarbonate regulate pH in biological fluids.

• AmphoterismBroader topic: Bicarbonate can donate a proton to become carbonate or accept one to become carbonic acid.

• Baking sodaBroader topic: It is the ion present in sodium bicarbonate and drives its acid reactions.

• Ammonium bicarbonateBroader topic: It is the anion that completes ammonium bicarbonate’s formula.

• Sperm capacitationRelated: Bicarbonate entering sperm helps trigger the signaling changes associated with capacitation.

• Potassium bicarbonateNarrower topic: This ion gives potassium bicarbonate its acid–base behavior.

• Pyruvate carboxylaseRelated: It supplies the carbon atom incorporated into oxaloacetate.

• Bile (physiology)Compared with: Pancreatic bicarbonate neutralizes stomach acid, whereas bile salts chiefly aid lipid handling.

• Calcium bicarbonateBroader topic: Two bicarbonate ions pair with one calcium ion in the dissolved compound.
