Through this intermediate, though, resonance-stabilized carbonate ions are produced.

The cathode, or positive side of the cell, grabs the two electrons, replenishing the electrolyte with carbonate ions.

If the carbonate ion had issues dissolving, then sodium carbonate wouldn't dissolve either.

Carbon trioxide should not be confused with the stable carbonate ion (CO).

The carbonate ion has the potential to absorb two hydrogen ions.

Under normal conditions, calcite and aragonite are stable in surface waters since the carbonate ion is at supersaturating concentrations.

The β-series, on the other hand, blocks water from the gadolinium by coordinating with a carbonate ion.

We probably should not expect the carbonate ion (CO3(2-)) to initiate a loss of electron since it is already quite negative.

Other chemical reactions are also triggered which result in an actual net decrease in the amount of carbonate ions available.

The carbonate ion is the simplest oxocarbon anion.
