Carbon itself does not have a pH as it is only an element. However, when combined with others to form compounds, carbon can become a base or acid. It can be a base by becoming a sodium carbonate, or become an acid by becoming an carbonate.
When carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, not a base.
It can *form* a weak acid - it is solid carbon dioxide, which in solution is carbonic acid.
No, carbon dioxide is not amphoteric. Amphoteric substances can act as both an acid and a base depending on the conditions, while carbon dioxide primarily acts as an acid by reacting with water to form carbonic acid.
C2H4 is neither an acid nor a base. It is a molecule composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, known as ethylene, which is a neutral compound.
This is an example of an acid-base reaction, where citric acid (acid) reacts with baking soda (base) to produce carbon dioxide gas. The decrease in temperature is due to the release of energy during the reaction.
Carbon trioxide is an unstable oxide of carbon, and is in the form of gas. so no co3 is not an acid
Dissolved carbon dioxide in water (carbonic acid) is weak acid.

Carbon dioxide does not show reactions with acids.

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.
Acid + base salt + water
Dr. Pepper conatain dissolved carbon dioxide (carbonic acid).
Carbon dioxide is neither an alkali nor a base. It is actually an oxide of carbon, and in aqueous solutions, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) by reacting with water.
