The balanced chemical equation for Bronsted-Lowry base carbonate CO₃²⁻ in water including the states of all reactants and products:

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ HCO₃⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Kb expression for this reaction is obtained by dividing the concentration of products over the concentration of reactants:

Kb = [tex] \frac{[HCO_{3}^{-}][OH^{-} ]}{[CO_{3}^{2-}]} [/tex]
