No. Carbonation is simply dissolving carbon dioxide gas in a liquid. Only indirect chemical change occurs, and if you just let the carbonated liquid sit for a while, it will reverse itself. A chemical reaction involves the destruction and or formation of bonds, which does not occur during the carbonation proper. Thus carbonation is a physical change, not a chemical one.
However, under pressure, water and carbon dioxide form carbonic acid (H20 + CO2 -> H2CO3) which makes most Carbonated Beverages slightly more acidic. This change reverses itself when normal atmospheric conditions are restored.

Is a type of chemical weathering.?
Carbonation
Identify three types of chemical weathering by their descriptions. Then give an example of each?
oxidation - a reaction with oxygen to form an oxide. An example of oxidation is rust. When iron reacts with oxygen, it forms iron oxide(rust). hydrolysis - a reaction with water. The most common example of hydrolysis is feldspar, which can be found in granite changing to clay. When it rains, water seeps down into the ground and comes in contact with granite rocks. The feldspar crystals within the granite react with the water and are chemically altered to form clay minerals, which weaken the rock. carbonation - a reaction with CO2 to form a carbonate acid. Limestone caves are an example of carbonation weathering.
The chemical reaction 2Na plus Cl2 ----- 2NaCl is an example of a?
Combination Reaction
