What happens when H20 and CO2 are mixed together?

Answer 1

nothing special. As the previous responder said, this is a common mixture in our lungs and in the air we breathe. Carbon dioxide will not react with oxygen, because it is already completely oxidized.

Answer 2

This is a mystery. Certainly it combines with water in a H2O*CO2 kind of combination. Some say it forms carbonic acid, H2CO3. So either it dissolves in water or it reacts to become a compound with water.

Answer 3

The carbon dioxide and oxygen will both dissolve in the water, up to their solubility limits. The solubility of carbon dioxide is higher than for oxygen, and in water carbon dioxide and a water molecule react to form carbonic acid, a very weak acid, with a taste that those who like "soda water" or seltzer apparently enjoy.

Answer 4

When water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are mixed together, they can react to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). This reaction is reversible and can affect the pH of the solution, making it slightly acidic.

Answer 5

You get H2CO3 or carbonic acid.

Mix a little carmel color, some sugars, and soda flavor and you get a Coke!

Answer 6

If you provide a source of ignition, the hydrogen will burn, using the oxygen as the oxidizer, and water and heat will be produced. The carbon dioxide won't do much of anything.

Answer 7

You get seltzer

Answer 8

It makes carbonic acid.
