Biocarbonate ion can react in water to produce hydroxide ion

Reference no: EM13167199

Biocarbonate ion can react in water to produce hydroxide ions and carbonic acid according to the equation below.

HCO3^- (aq) + H2O(l) <---> H2CO3 (aq) + OH^- (aq)

If the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 1.4 x 10^-8, what woul the equlibrium concentration be of hydroxide ion for a system that was initially 1.0 M HCO3^-? Assume only the HCO3^-3 was present in the system initially.
