There is no molecular structure for sodium bicabonate because sodium bicarbonate is not a molecule, it is an ionic compound made up of sodium cations (Na+) and bicarbonate anions (HCO3-). However, since bicarbonate is a polyatomic anion that is held together by covalent bonds, it is possible to draw a molecular structure for the anion. Since I do not think it is possible to paste pictures into here, let me describe the anion. The carbon atom is the central atom, and it is surrounded by three oxygens. Two of them are single bonded to the carbon, one of them is double bonded. This base structure forms a trigonal planar shape. One of the two oxygens that was single bonded to the carbon has a hydrogen bonded to it. The C-O-H bond angle is a bit less than 109.5o because of the two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen. The other oxygen has a -1 formal charge, which is why the anion has an overall -1 charge.

Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
Is sodium bicarbonate the same as sodium carbonate?
No Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3 while sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3 Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
What is Na2HCO3?
Sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda) has the molecular formula of Na2HCO3. It comprising elements are sodium (Na), hydrogen (H), carbon (C) and oxygen (O). Sodium bicarbonate as a molecular mass of 84.01 grams per mole.
Is sodium bicarbonate organic or inorganic?
Sodium bicarbonate is an inorganic compound as it does not contain any carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Is baking soda an ionic or molecular compound?
Baking soda is NaHCO3, sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) which contains Na+ and [HCO3]- ions
Is sodium bicarbonate blue?
Sodium bicarbonate is white.
Is sodium bicarbonate a simple sugar?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is a salt.
Is Baking soda a homogeneous mix?
Baking Soda is NOT a mixture. It's a compound called Sodium Bicarbonate. Its molecular formula is NaHCO3
Is sodium bicarbonate soluble in ether?
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
2What is the formula for sodium bicarbonate?
I assume you mean you want the molecular formula for sodium bicarbonate - if you wanted a balanced equation, you would need another substance to react with But sodium bicarbonate = NaHCO3 While the above answer is help full I am going to assume that the question was what is the balanced equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. 2NaHCO3--> Na2CO3+CO2+H2O in further detail the reaction for this formula is not decomposition; it is, in fact, combustion because of the carbon dioxide and water in the products of the equation.
What are the pH's of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate?
Sodium carbonate has a pH of about 11, and sodium bicarbonate has a pH of 8.
Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
Are sodium bicarbonate and sodium metabisulfite the same?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the monatomic sodium ion (Na+) and the polyatomic bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3, a compound of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion. Due to the acidity of the ammonium ion, ammonium bicarbonate is a less basic than sodium bicarbonate.
Does sodium bicarbonate contain yeast?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is simple alkaline salt.
