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.

Can a buffer solution be prepared from a mixture of NaNO3 and HNO3?
For a buffer solution you need a weak acid and the salt of its base, not a strong acid. Nitric acid is too strong, ie it fully dissociates. Ethanoic acid and carbonic acids are suitable examples of weak acids, ie ones that exist in an equilibrium between the undissociated and dissociated forms. Buffers is a complicated chemistry idea for which you need a good bit of background understanding - I recommend you to the website Chemguide.
Which acid is better to use in the laboratory titrations H2SO4 or HCL why?
both of them are good , but i buffer H2SO4
Is Glucose a good buffer?
No, it is a poor buffer.
What acid is present in aerated drinks?
Carbonic acid Phosphoric acid (in cola's, brown colored) Sorry! dont know the third... Been looking for a homework project but unable to find it. Good luck! Added: Citric acid in many fruitlike carbs, fanta's, bitter's etc.
How do you lower the alkalinity of a pool with muriatic acid without affecting the pH?
There is NO way to lower TA without lowering pH. Slugging acid in a pool with the pump off will have EXACTLY the same effect as walking the acid around the pool AND can cause damage to pool surfaces. When you add acid you convert bicarbonate (TA) into carbonic acid. This action lowers both pH and TA. Carbonic acid is basically CO2 dissolved in water. If you let the CO2 gas off the pH will rise (since the amount of carbonic ACID) in the water is lessened) and the TA will stay where it is (since we cannot form more bicarbonate). To lower TA safely without causing damage to pool surfaces: 1. drop the pH to 7.0 and no lower with acid ( use an acid demand test in a good test kit to do this) 2. aerate the water to gas off CO2. (fountains, waterfalls, turning the eyeballs upward in the returns to break the water surface, having a 'splash party' in the pool, or anything else that disturbs the water will work. ) The aeration will cause the pH to rise. When the pH is above 7.4 test the TA. (it won't move much at first but will eventually start to move if it is very high). If the TA is still too high repeat from step 1. When the TA is where you want it you are done. To sum this up: The main component of TA is the bicarbonate in the water The act of adding the acid lowers BOTH the pH and the TA by converting bicarbonate into carbonic acid (basically carbon dioxide dissolved in the water). It lowers pH much faster than it lowers TA Allowing the carbon dixoide created by lowering the pH to gas out of the water causes the pH to rise again because the amount of carbonic ACID in the water decreases. However the amount of bicarbonate does not increase so neither does the TA.
What Enzyme speeds up reaction of CO2 and H2O to form carbonic acid?
The only good answer is too complicated for explanation here. It is advisable to read a good article on the biochemistry of photosynthesis. To get a preview: certainly there are more than 100 enzymes involved in more than 20 steps (or 'groups' of reactions) to form one of the many (>100) carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
What makes the gas in soda?
Its carbonic acid. Not good for tooth enamel.
Why is good?
It increases the bloods affinity to oxygen and buffers carbonic acid in the blood.

Why is hemoglobin good?
It increases the bloods affinity to oxygen and buffers carbonic acid in the blood.
Why is HCl and NaCl a good buffer?
No, NaOH is a strong base and NaCl is the salt of a strong acid and a strong base and so has no acidic or basic properties. A buffer solution requires an acidic or basic salt and the corresponding weak acid or base.
Does Sprite Rot your teeth?
Yes, any type of Lemonade/Pop is bad for you, it contain sugars that can rot your teeth carbonic acid in soda which eats away at your teeth, Sugar, chemicals and phosphoric acid is not a good idea. The carbonation itself is not good as it makes you feel very bloated.

Effect of Diluting a buffer?
The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
What is the buffering agent in buffered aspirin?
Aspirin is an acid - aceetylsalicylic acid. The continuous or excessive consumption of aspirin (an acid) can be harmful to why it is good that a buffer compound is added.
Why is water a good pH buffer?
Water is not a good pH buffer.
Is Glucose a good buffer?
No, it is a poor buffer.
