bicarbonates
Fizzy stomach settlers
Bicarbonates are salts containing the bicarbonate ion, formed when carbonic acid partially neutralizes a base.
Sodium bicarbonate—baking soda—is the most familiar, used in cooking, cleaning, and as an antacid.
In physiology, bicarbonates in the blood help maintain pH balance: Her bicarbonate levels were low after the seizure.
