Hydrogencarbonat
Wieviel Hydrogencarbonat braucht ein Mineralwasser?
Wir wissen: Mineralwasser ist gesund für den Körper. Aber gibt es da
Unterschiede? Jahrelang wurde fälschlicherweise behauptet, "natriumarm" wäre
gesünder. Jetzt heißt es, möglichst viel Hydrogencarbonat ist gesund. Alles nur
ein Trend? Oder ist da wirklich etwas dran?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Definitely. In this context it is bicarbonate (HCO3^-). This is a more "common" name. Hydrogen carbonate is used in purely academic as well as pedagogical contexts.

: I disagree - it may well be the more academically correct term but people in the UK (especially) will be thinking more of cakes than mineral water. I would therefore vastly prefer to use hydrogen carbonate
