Carbonic acid is a mixture of what?

Carbonic Acid is water reacted with carbon dioxide.


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 role of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in chemical weathering?

Oxygen causes oxidation reactions; carbon dioxide with water (as carbonic acid) dissolve minerals.


Why is carbonic acid preferred to other acids in fizzy drinks?

- the carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide in water) is not toxic - the carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide in water) is not so corrosive - the carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide in water) has a pleasant taste - the carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide in water) is cheaper - the carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide in water) is very simple to prepare and very accessible


What are the products of carbon dioxide plus water yields carbonic acid?

The products of this reaction are: Carbon Dioxide, and Water The reactant of this reaction is: Carbonic Acid


What is the harm of carbonic acid?

Carbonic acid is not dangerous; carbon dioxide is nonrespirable.


What is carbonic acid mixture of?

Carbonic Acid is water reacted with carbon dioxide.


What is the acid an hydride of carbonic acid?

Carbon dioxide


Is carbonic acid made from carbon dioxide and iron?

No. Carbonic acid is H2CO3 and is H2O + CO2


How is carbonic acid produced in an aquarium?

Carbonic acid is produced when carbon dioxide dissolves in water


Is carbonic acid soluble?

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to create diluted carbonic acid.


How does carbonic acid eventually get to the earth?

Carbonic acid forms when water reacts with carbon dioxide.
