Verified answer
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

Carbon dioxide
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.
When so2 dissolved in water then acid formed is?
It forms Sulphurous Acid
Which acid is formed when sulfur dioxide dissolved in water?
It forms Sulphurous Acid
What forms around Na and Cl- ions when dissolved in water?
Acid
What happens to a hydrogen atom ina acid when the acid is dissolved in water?
it forms H3O+ (Hydronium ion)
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide from the air?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water form carbonic acid.
Compare acids and bases based on the ion formed when each compound is dissolved in water?
When an acid is dissolved in water, it forms loose hydrogen ions. When a base is dissolved in water, it releases loose hydroxide ions in water.
Is forms carbonic acid in water chemical?
Carbonic acid is equivalent to carbon dioxide dissolved in water: in ionic form [2 H+ + (CO3)2-].
When dissolved in water acid produces what?
Hydronium ions are obtained when acid is dissolved in water.
Why are sulfur phosphorus and charcoal described as acid-making elements?
They all form oxides that form acids when dissolved in water. Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid. Sulfur trioxide forms sulfuric acid, and tetraphosphorus decoxide forms phosphoric acid.
