Answer 2

H2CO4 does not exist as a stable compound. The closest compound is carbonic acid, H2CO3, which is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. Carbonic acid is a weak acid that plays a role in the buffering system of blood and helps maintain the pH balance in the body.

Answer 3

H2CO2 is the formula for carbonous acid. Take care not to confuse this with the formula for: carbonic acid: H2CO3 Hypocarbonous Acid: H2CO Percarbonic Acid: H2CO4.

Answer 4

H2CO3 means carbonic acid that is present in cold drinks.

Answer 5

Hydrogen 2, Carbon 2, and Oxygen 4. This is the formula for oxalic acid.

Answer 6

H2CO4 does not exist. The closest compound would be H2CO3, which is carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. Carbonic acid plays a role in regulating the pH of blood in humans.

Answer 7

Carbonic Acid.

Answer 8

HC204 is the hydrogenoxalate ion.
