Carbon dioxide reacts with water to produce carbonic acid. The double arrow means that carbonic acid breaks down pretty readily to form carbon dioxide and water again. A hydrogen atom from the ...

When you drink sparkling water, a chemical reaction in your mouth turns carbon dioxide into carbonic acid. And acid erodes ...

When the carbon dioxide mixes with the water in the red cabbage indicator, it creates a very weak acid called carbonic acid. This acid reacts with the red cabbage indicator and changes its color. The ...

Carbon dioxide dissolves in (and reacts with) water, forming carbonic acid. As this acid forms, it breaks down (dissociates) into a hydrogen ion and a bicarbonate ion. The hydrogen ion (produced when ...

Bubbles of CO 2 rise from volcanic vents on the seafloor and dissolve to form carbonic acid ... as they absorb more and more of the carbon dioxide that's coming from tailpipes and smokestacks.

Carbonic acid causes the acidity in fizzy drinks. This is used as a test for carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater the limewater changes from colourless to milky.

The following experiments show that this is not so, but that carbonic acid is first formed, the process contrasting with urease action in which carbon dioxide is directly produced in the splitting ...
