Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O) -----> Carbonic Acid (H2CO3)
Yes, carbon dioxide can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid.
carbon dioxide
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it reacts with water molecules to form carbonic acid. This reaction occurs because carbon dioxide is slightly acidic and can combine with water to create carbonic acid, which is a weak acid.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) mixes with water to make a weak carbonic acid
Water and carbon dioxide form carbonic acid. Carbon dioxide dissolved in water can be considered as an acid - carbonic acid, H2CO3.
Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere combines with water to form carbonic acid, it is a form of acid rain.

Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3
Water and carbon dioxide form carbonic acid. Carbon dioxide dissolved in water can be considered as an acid - carbonic acid, H2CO3.
Carbon dioxide absorbed in water form a carbonic acid.
Separately Carbon dioxide dissolves in rail water to form a very mild solution of carbonic acid. This is a NATURAL process and NOT 'acid rain'. CO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2CO3(aq) However, Sulphur dioxide also dissolved in rainwater to form sulphurous acid. This is NOT a natural process, because the product has a lower pH making it more acidic. Hence 'acid rain'. SO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO3(aq) Similarly Nitric Oxide also dissolves in rainwater to form various acids of nitrogen. Again this has a lower pH than natural rainwater, making for acid rain. NO(g) + H2O(l) = H2NO2(aq) ( Nitrous acid). NB Water (rainwater) is a very powerful solvent and will dissolve most solutes. NNB The oxides of the NON-metals dissolve in water to form acids. Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur are elemental non-metals.
