No. Carbonic acid is a compound of 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It will, however, readily break down into water and carbon dioxide, which are compounds.

How does the human body get rid of carbonic acid?

The body can break down carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. (It can exhale carbon dioxide and either uses or urinates out the water.) Carbonic acid is part of the system that keeps the pH of your blood stable. When your blood starts to get too acidic, it converts the excess carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. When you blood gets too basic/alkaline, it converts the excess carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid.

What elements make up soda water?

i can only tell you that elements that contained in soda water Soda water basically contains water and carbon dioxide. But because carbon dioxide reacts with water, carbonic acid is also found in soda water. So we have H2O, CO2, and H2CO3 in soda water. Broken down into the elements, we'd have hydrogen, carbon and oxygen in soda water.
