Best Answer

CO2 reacts with water to form hydrogen carbonate (carbonic acid), H2CO3. This molecule is a weak acid and can form HCO3(-) and CO3(2-) upon deprotonation. Keep in mind that CO2 can only form H2CO3 if there is water present, if the conditions are dry (no water present) it has no acidity at all, so neutral.

Acid. CO2 dissolves in water to form small amounts of H2CO3 carbonic acid.

Yes, sodium hydroxide (the modern term for the archaic "caustic soda") is a base (not quite the same as an alkali, but close and much more clearly defined).

No. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen. Alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen.

Does cyclohexane burn in air?

Cyclohexane is an alkane and it burns in air with an orange flame and black sooty smoke. The orange flame indicates incomplete combustion. This means there is a lack of oxygen in the air for all the carbon in the alkane to be converted into carbon dioxide (which is complete combustion) so some carbon and carbon monoxide is formed which is the black sooty smoke (incomplete combustion).


What are methane and carbon dioxide?

Both methane and carbon dioxide are green house gases (GHGs) that contribute to global climate change. Methane is a simple alkane with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen). Carbon dioxide has the chemical formula CO2 (cone atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen). Both methane and carbon dioxide are gases, and each has both biological and non-biological sources in nature.
