HCO3-(aq) + OH-(aq) NaHCO<sub>3</sub> can be used to neutralize strong bases, such as NaOH. What conclusion can be drawn from the fact that the following acid-base reaction proceeds to the right as written? HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>(aq)  + OH<sup>-</sup>(aq)    CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup>(aq)  + H<sub>2</sub>O(l)  A)  HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> is a stronger acid than H<sub>2</sub>O. B)  HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> is a stronger base than CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup>. C)  HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> is a stronger base than OH<sup>-</sup>. D)  CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> is a stronger base than OH<sup>-</sup>. E)  H<sub>2</sub>O is a stronger acid than HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>. CO32-(aq) + H2O(l)
