Why don't carbonic acids react with metals?
Carbonic acid does react with metals as similar to the other acids. But in nature, carbonic acid molecule is unstable. It has an equilibrium where carbonic acid dissociates into a water molecule and a carbon dioxide molecule.
Is diffusion the dominant method of carbon dioxide transport?
Enzyme carbonic anhydrase forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which dissociates into H+ and HCO3. 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in plasma as HCO3. BICARBONATE IONS.
Is HCO3 a acid?
No, H2CO3 is considered to be a weak acid. In regards to aqueous solutions where H2O3 would be present, weak acids are determined by ones that dissociates into ions.
What is dilute carbonic acid?
Dilute carbonic acid is a carbonic acid solution that is in low concentration.
Carbonic acid is a mixture of what?
Carbonic Acid is water reacted with carbon dioxide.
Carbonic acid is fairly unstable and quickly dissociates into?
It dissociates into carbon dioxide and water, if it is in solution it dissociates into Hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion.

How is CO2 from the tissues converted into HCO3 in the blood?
CO2 combines with H2O in blood plasma to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Carbonic acid readily dissociates into HCO3 + H+ . The reaction between CO2 and water happens inside red blood cells, and the reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.

Carbonic Acid is water reacted with carbon dioxide.
Is Carbonic acid an organic acid?
No. Carbonic acid is inorganic.
Which enzymes in rbc breaks h2co3 down to water and carbon dioxide?
Carbonic Anhydrase
Is the carbonic acid a strong volatile acid?
No. Carbonic acid is never a strong acid.
Is hcl a carbonic acid?
HCl is hydrochloric acid. Carbonic acid is H2CO3
What happens when carbon dioxide dissolves in sea water?
It dissolves and forms carbonic acid, by: CO2 + H2O ---> H2CO3 This is an important part of keeping your body fluids at a constant pH of 7.4. If you hyperventilate and "blow off" CO2 , your pH goes up (there's less acid) and bad things can happen.
