happy angel:
Hard water contains calcium ions and hydrogencarbonate ions arising from dissolved calcium
hydrogencarbonate, Ca(HCO3)2.
How many electrons are present in the hydrogencarbonate anion?
A 30 B 31 C 32 D 33

The answer is C.. can sm1 xplain to me the answer plzz?

1stly,

# Protons = # Electrons

H = 1
C = 6
O = 8x3 = 24
 Total = 24+6+1 = 31

HCO3- means it has a negative charge on it. So, it has gained an electron.

Thus, 31+1 = 32 electrons.
