Seawater is essentially NaCl + H2O. Adding CO2 will simply acidify the water, since CO2 + H2O ==> H2CO3 (carbonic acid). The NaCl can react to form Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate) and HCl, but all ions will be in solution, so there is no reaction, per se. Na^+ + Cl^- + 2H^+ + CO3^2- ==> no reaction

What hapens when you add vinegar to baking soda?

When you add vinegar to baking soda, a chemical reaction occurs, producing carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium acetate. This reaction causes fizzing and bubbling as the carbon dioxide gas is released.

Carbon dioxide and water make what substance?

Carbonic acid, H2CO3, is probably the answer you want, but it's not the only thing. If you add carbon dioxide to fresh water (the salt in seawater seems to have a catalytic effect) most of it will remain as carbon dioxide and you'll get...carbonated water, a solution of CO2 in H2O. Both of those compounds are so stable it's hard to get them to react with anything.


How could you test that carbon dioxide is made?

To test for carbon dioxide is easy. All you need is a beaker filled with water but not full, about 1/4 full and bits of limestone. Insert the limestone in the water and blow into it. The carbon dioxide that you blew out from your mouth should react with the limewater. The limewater should turn into a milky, cloudy color.

What happens when add the water to copper carbonate?

When water is added to copper carbonate, a chemical reaction occurs where the water reacts with the copper carbonate to form copper hydroxide and carbon dioxide gas. The copper hydroxide is a solid that can be separated from the mixture, while the carbon dioxide gas will escape into the atmosphere.


Does respiration add carbon dioxide to the air?

Yes, respiration is the process by which organisms release carbon dioxide into the air as a byproduct of breaking down glucose for energy in the presence of oxygen.
