A weaker acid
When mixing conc. sulfuric acid and water, add acid to water and not vice-versa as that releases lot of energy resulting in injuries.
This is the carbonic acid, H2CO3.
Carbonic Acid (H2CO3)
When mixing an acid and a base you will get a salt and water solution (But this is not the normal water that you would drink or, the normal salt you would put on your chips) . Here is the word equation; acid+ base= salt+ water.
Mixing of conc. sulfuric acid with water
HCO3 is the weaker acid.
It won't have neutralised the acid but it will be weaker because it is less concentrated
Mixing of conc. sulfuric acid with water
The product of this reaction is a salt.
it is still acid but weaker because the water-acid base ratio grows depending on how much water or acid base there is You need water to make acid (e.g. Hydrogen Chloride itself is not acid, it is an acid base, but when dissolved in water it is a very strong acid)
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water, and add it slowly. Never add the water to the acid.
