Carbonic acid.

The reaction is:

H2O + CO2 -----> H2CO3 ----> H+ + HCO3-

The reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. After it has formed it separates (dissociates) into hydrogen ions (H+) and hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO3-).

Does the reaction Sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid occur?

Yes, the reaction between sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid does occur. The reaction produces hydrobromic acid and sodium chloride.


What is a reaction in which two or more substances react to produce a single product?

The term for a type of reaction in which two substances react to produce a single compound is combination reaction. This is a type of chemical reaction.


What happens when Solid potassium oxide is added to a container of carbon dioxide gas?

When solid potassium oxide (K2O) is added to a container of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, a chemical reaction occurs. Potassium oxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate (K2CO3). This reaction is a double displacement reaction, where the potassium from potassium oxide replaces the carbon in carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of potassium carbonate. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: K2O + CO2 → K2CO3.


Solid calcium oxide is exposed to a stream of carbon dioxide gas?

A chemical reaction will occur, resulting in the formation of calcium carbonate and releasing heat. This reaction is known as calcium oxide reacting with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate.


Iron can be produced by reacting iron oxide with carbon in a blast furnace. What type of reaction produces the iron?

We see a reduction reaction stripping the oxygen from iron in a blast furnace. Carbon in the form of coke is added to the furnace to facilitate the reaction. This is the primary chemical reaction that is used to produce iron on an industrial scale. In the reaction, iron oxide and carbon yield iron and carbon dioxide. It looks like this in its balanced form: 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2 It is generally thought that carbon monoxide is the actual reducing agent that "steals" the oxygen from the iron to leave it in its elemental state, but what is posted above is the commonly published information.

A neutralization reaction occur between a base and an acid; the product is a salt.


Between what two atoms do ester bonds occur?

Ester bonds occur between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom. Specifically, the bond is formed between the carbonyl carbon of a carboxylic acid and an oxygen atom of an alcohol in an esterification reaction.


What is the role of the bond in a chemical reaction?

For a reaction to occur between two chemicals, by definition a bond has to grow between them. They become bonded together and form a new product.


What is the expected product of the reaction between KOH plus NI is?

The reaction between KOH (potassium hydroxide) and Ni (nickel) will not yield a simple product. It is more likely to result in a redox reaction or the formation of complex compounds involving the two reactants. Additional information or specific reaction conditions would be needed to predict the exact product.


Why carbon tetra chloride does not give white ppt with AgNO3 solution?

Carbon tetrachloride does not react with silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form a white precipitate because it lacks an available chlorine atom for the reaction to occur. The reaction between carbon tetrachloride and silver nitrate would require the replacement of the chlorine atom by the silver ion from silver nitrate, but this reaction does not happen due to the unreactive nature of carbon tetrachloride.

Why cyclopentanone cannot undergo iodoform reaction?

Cyclopentanone cannot undergo the iodoform reaction because it lacks a methyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon that is necessary for the reaction to occur. The presence of a methyl group is essential for the formation of the triiodomethane (iodoform) product.


Why must the light reaction occur before the dark reaction?

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.


What causes a precipitation reaction to occur between two soluble compound?

A precipitation reaction occurs when two soluble compounds react to form an insoluble product (a precipitate). This can happen if the product is less soluble than the reactants in the given conditions. The insoluble product then separates from the solution and forms a solid precipitate.
