The atmospheric gas that forms a mild acid when dissolved in water is?
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 is formed when an acid reacts with a carbonate?
Carbon DioxideWhen an acid reacts with a carbonate, the products are:A salt + carbon dioxide + water
Why does lime water turn chalky when cardon dioxide is present?
The carbon dioxide forms a precipitate with the calcium hydroxide. (Lime water is just a solution of calcium hydroxide) This precipiate is what makes it look chalky
What does light energy do to water and carbon dioxide?
Light has little or no effect on water and carbon dioxide, unless a catalyst such as chlorophyll is present. In that case, the light energy is absorbed and the water and carbon dioxide are converted to glucose and water. This is photosynthesis.
What two things must be taken in by a plant for photosynthesis?
The two things that a plant takes in for photosynthesis are : light and carbon dioxide.
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide from the air?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water form carbonic acid.
What forms when carbon dioxide gas mixes with water in the atmosphere?
When malevolent gases combine with water, it often forms acid rain.
What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the air soil?
it is acid rain or carbonic acid
What mixes with water to form a weak acid?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) mixes with water to make a weak carbonic acid
What do oxygen and carbon make?
when carbon oxidizes (mixes with oxygen) it forms carbon dioxide
Does dihydrogen form water and carbon dioxide when burned?
No, it forms water, dihydrogen oxide. There is no carbon to form carbon dioxide.
What forms from carbon oxide and water?
Under pressure, soda water or seltzer forms from dissolution of the carbon dioxide in the water.
What element does a plant get from water to make food?
it doesn't get it from water but it mixes it with carbon dioxide sunlight and nutrient's from the soil
What does carbon dioxide gas in the air create when it dissolves in water droplets?
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water it forms carbonic acid.
Why does carbon dioxide change colors of indicator?
Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature. With water, it partially forms carbonic acid.
What makes water acidic?
When water falls from the sky, it mixes with CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) on the way down... Its referred to as, Acid Rain
What happens when you mix baking soda with water?
