Basically the CO2 releases into the air and water is left. Its unstable because CO2 is a gas at room temp.

What happens when you mix carbonic acid and alum?
Nothing
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.
Why oxidation of formic acid does not produce HO COOH?
Oxidation of formic acid with K2CrO4 produces carbonic acid (HO COOH), but this molecule is very unstable, it tends to decompose in CO2 and H2O.
When was carbonic acid made?
Carbonic acid occurs naturally.
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.
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 carbonic acid by itself a good buffer?
No. A buffer needs to have a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Additionally carbonic acid is unstable as it spontaneously decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.
What is the product of CaCO3 and nitric acid?
The immediate products of this reaction are calcium nitrate and carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is a highly unstable compound at the room temperature. It always tends to dissociate into carbon dioxide and water.
Is carbonic acid a strong or weak electrolyte?
yes - carbonic acid is a week acid. eg Ordinary soda- which is carbon di oxide dissolved in water.This is unstable.
What happens when you mix carbonic acid and alum?
Nothing
What happens when carbon dioxide in exhaled air is mixed with water?
It dissolves and forms carbonic acid, by: CO2,g + H2Ol --> H2CO3,aq , a very weak diprotic acid.
When rain and CO2 combines what happens?
Carbonic acid is formed.
What happens when carbonic acid reacts with calcite?
calcium bicarbonate is formed
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.
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.
Is Carbonic acid an organic acid?
No. Carbonic acid is inorganic.
