This would be carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water (as all gases do to some extent) it forms carbonic acid, because the chemical formula would be in perfect balance. Carbonic acid has the chemical formula H2CO3. Also carbon dioxide dissolves into water more readily than many other atmospheric gases.
CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3
What else can I help you with?
What substance generates h when dissolved in water?
An acid releases H+ ions in water.
How is carbonic acid formed?
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water under pressure. But carbonic acid is unstable, and under atmospheric pressure, decomposes to water and carbon dioxide. H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3
How does nitric acid (HNO3) form?
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with OH in the atmosphere to form nitric acid (HNO3). Nitric acid can also form when nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with the nitrate radical (NO3) in the presence of atmospheric water
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the air or soil?
A weak acid called Carbonic Acid form. Fun Fact: This is the same weak acid that is found in many soft drinks.
Is rain and element mixture or a compound?
mixture, definitely. unpolluted rainwater has water, carbonic acid (from dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere), dust, and maybe other things
What atmospheric gas forms from a mild acid dissolved in water?
carbon dioxide
Carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide is?
Dissolved in water, e/g/ atmospheric CO2 into rain-water.
What dissolved the limestone to form the caves?
The forests that grows over the limestone forms mulch that produces the acid required. That's true but the prime solvent is Carbonic Acid: atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved into rain-water.
What forms around Na and Cl- ions when dissolved in water?
Acid
What is aqueous hydrogen chloride?
Aqueous hydrogen chloride is a solution of hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water. It forms hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water. It is a strong acid.
One atmospheric compound is responsible after it has dissolved in water for both the general acidity of normal rainwater and the acidity of much soil What is this compound?
The compound responsible for the acidity of rainwater and soil is sulfur dioxide (SO2) dissolved in water, which forms sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This process is known as acid rain.
Does boric acid react with water?
Boric acid don't react with water but is soluble in water.
When so2 dissolved in water then acid formed is?
When SO2 dissolves in water, it forms sulfurous acid (H2SO3). This acid is a weak acid that can dissociate into bisulfite ions (HSO3-) and hydrogen ions (H+).
Which acid is formed when sulfur dioxide dissolved in water?
Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water to form sulfurous acid (H2SO3).
Is nitrogen tetroxide acidic?
Yes, nitrogen tetroxide is acidic. When dissolved in water, it forms nitric acid, which is a strong acid.
If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of h positive ions when dissolved in watr it is referred to as?
If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of H+ ions when dissolved in water, it is referred to as an acid. Acids are substances that donate protons when dissolved in water, leading to an increase in H+ ions concentration in the solution.
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide from the air?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water form carbonic acid.
