    Solutes and slovents
    If you have a solute of Ca(HCO3)2 and a solvent of H2O , what would you see(have) in the solution?

    The question boils down to, "to what does Ca(HCO3)2 ionize, in water"



    Bicarbonate, also has its own equilibrium:



    If you wish, you can put "(aq)" after the ions, but normally one just assumes that.

    Water, itself, also ionizes very slightly
