Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water under pressure. But carbonic acid is unstable, and under atmospheric pressure, decomposes to water and carbon dioxide.

What does HCO3 stand for?
Carbonic acid
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the air or soil?
A weak acid called Carbonic Acid form. Fun Fact: This is the same weak acid that is found in many soft drinks.
Is acid rain is made from small amounts of acetic and carbonic acids?
Acid rain contain carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid.Acid rains are very dangerous for metallic structures and plants.
Does carbonic acid affect your pulse rate?
yes
What is the pH range of the resulting product from carbon dioxide and limewater?
Calcium hydroxide in limewater reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate (insoluble and hence the emergence of murkiness) and water. Calcium carbonate can be considered as the salt formed from the neutralization of a strong base, calcium hydroxide, and a weak acid, carbonic acid. The pH of the solution of such a salt will be basic because the conjugate base of the weak acid, carbonate, is weakly basic.
What happen for the reaction between carbonic acid and water?
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed.
Acid formed by mixing water with carbon dioxide?
H2CO3, or carbonic acid, can be formed by dissolving carbon dioxide (CO2) in water (H2O). When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water, carbonic acid "exists in equilibrium" with the water and carbon dioxide; meaning that the carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms involved tend to move around and keep equal concentrations of gas/water mixture and carbonic acid.
What is the name for H2CO2?
"H2CO2 is known as "Carbonic acid". It is formed from a hydrogen ion (H+) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-)" This is wrong, H2CO2 is known as FORMIC acid H2CO3 is Carbonic Acid.
What is formed when carbon dioxide is added to a water solution?
A small amount of carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid.
What acid is formed from water mixing with carbon dioxide?
Carbonic Acid (H2CO3)
When rain and CO2 combines what happens?
Carbonic acid is formed.
Carbonic acid can form water and carbon dioxide upon heating How much carbon dioxide is formed from 6.20 g of carbonic acid?
4.40
What happens when carbonic acid reacts with calcite?
calcium bicarbonate is formed
What is formed as rainwater reacts with carbon dioxide in the soil?
carbonic acid
Is calcium carbonate a buffer?
Yes. Calcium carbonate is a salt and is formed from calcium reacting with carbonic acid. The salts of weak acids function as buffers. Carbonic acid is a weak acid.
How long ago was carbonic acid first made?
No one knows for sure. Although the first carbonic acid on earth formed naturally billions years ago.
If 44 grams of carbon react completely with 18 grams of water what is the mass of carbonic acid formed?
Carbon does not react with cold water to form carbonic acid.
