The name “bicarbonate” comes from the fact that it is the salt or ester of carbonic acid that contains one hydrogen atom and one carbonate ion, HCO₃⁻. Bicarbonate is also known as hydrogen carbonate, and it is the conjugate base of carbonic acid. Bicarbonate can act as either an acid or a base, depending on the pH of the solution.
