Yes. This is the most given answer, though not precise.
Carbonic Acid is formed. H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 which in turn also forms hydrogen bonds.
==========================================
Actually there are no molecules of H2CO3 in aqueous solution. They don't exist.
What is called "carbonic acid" is actually a solution of dissolved CO2 in equilibrium with small amounts of H+ and HCO3-, which is what makes it acidic:
CO2(aq) + H2O(l)<==> H+ + HCO3-
The equilibrium lies far to the left, meaning that the CO2 stays mostly CO2(aq).
As for hydrogen bonding between CO2 and H2O, the answer is "maybe".
The conventional wisdom is that hydrogen bonding occurs when H is internally bonded to N, O or F, and where the H of one molecule is weakly, covalently bonded to N, O or F of an adjacent molecule. A hydrogen bond is more than simply an electrostatic attraction. The hydrogen bond has been shown to exhibit covalent bond characteristics. But, the few HCO3- (HOCO2-) molecules formed can exhibit hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
The big question concerns the attraction between the H of a water molecule and a lone pair of electrons on an oxygen in CO2.
O=C=O:--- H-O-H
According to the newest description of the hydrogen bond by the IUPAC, the attraction between water and CO2 constitutes a hydrogen bond. This helps explain why CO2 is very soluble in water.
The IUPAC recently has redefined the hydrogen bond.
The gist of the change is that the hydrogen bond has significant covalent character rather than being merely an electrostatic attraction.

What makes when these mix CO2 and H2O?
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 Also if you mix H2O with CO2(s) (common name dry ice) you get CO2 gas and an acidic CO2/H2O mixture.
What is balanced equation when Ammonia and carbon dioxide react to form urea and water?
2nh3 + co2 --> (nh2)2co + h2o
Which of these are chemical compounds O2 H2O CO2 N2?
co2 and h2o
Of the four gases CO2 H2O N2 and O2 which are greenhouse gases?

Would NaHCO3 react with HCl?
yes, it does react. It produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O so it looks like this... NaHCO3 + HCl ---> NaCl + CO2 + H2O
What is produced when hydrocarbons react with oxygen?
CO2 and H2O
Is h2co3 react with water?
h2co3 (aq)--> co2+ h2o
What 2 substances react to form carbonic acid?
CO2 and H2O
Does limestone react with hcl?
YesCaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
What is the formula for carbon dioxide and water?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) can react to form an equilibrium state between these reactants and their product of carbonic acid (H2CO3). The simple reaction is H2O + CO2 <---> H2CO3.
When organic compounds are burned they react with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O. Write balanced equations for C2H6O?
The chemical equation is:C2H5OH + O2 = 2 CO2 + 3 H2O
Barium carbonate will react with hydrochloric acid to produce?
BaCO3+2HCl = BaCl2+CO2+H2O
What gas is produced when NaHCO3 and HCl react?
CO2 as gas H2O as a liquid NaCl as aqueous
Why does methane undergo oxidation?
Methane , CH4 , is a fuel that can react with O2 to yield CO2, H2O, and heat. CH4 (g) + O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) + Heat
