A sodium hydrogen carbonate indicator is used to test for the presence of acids. It turns pink in the presence of an acid and yellow in the presence of a base. This color change helps to determine whether a solution is acidic or basic.
The chemical name for Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is sodium bicarbonate.
Sodium dihydrogen carbonate is not a proper chemical name and therefore has no formula, because carbonate anions have only two negative charges and therefore can not form a neutral compound with one sodium atom and two hydrogen atoms. The closest analogous compound is sodium hydrogen carbonate, which has the formula NaHCO3.
The molar mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) is approximately 84 grams per mole. Therefore, the mass of 1.00 mole of sodium hydrogen carbonate would be 84 grams.
The chemical formula for sodium carbonate trihydrate is Na2CO3•3H2O.
The chemical symbol for sodium carbonate is Na2CO3.
