The oxyacid sodium hydrogen carbonate is used to make sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, and hydrogen carbonate salts, formed from carbonic acid, are strong bases that are widely used in antacids. Other well-characterized oxyacids include nitric acid, nitrous acid, and phosphorous acid. How to thank TFD for its existence?
