Carbonic acid can lose 2 protons (hydrogen ions). After losing the first, a hydrogen ion and a bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion are produced. When the bicarbonate ion is further ionized, another hydrogen ion as well as a carbonate ion are produced.

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 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 product is formed when the carbon dioxide is dissolved in water?
When mixed with water, carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid. It should be noted it only partially dissolves. If temperatures dip below -78c, it will become solidified again.
What is carbonic acid abd how does it effect chemical weathering process?
Carbonic acid is an acid formed by diluting co2 in water. It weathers calcite minerals by reaction with them (Lime stone)
When was carbonic acid made?
Carbonic acid occurs naturally.
Acid most dangerous carbonic acid or hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid by far the more dangerous and poisonous! It is fully ionized, whereas Carbonic acid is not.
What happen for the reaction between carbonic acid and water?
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed.

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.
