It dissolves and forms carbonic acid, by:
CO2 + H2O ---> H2CO3
This is an important part of keeping your body fluids at a constant pH of 7.4. If you hyperventilate and "blow off" CO2 , your pH goes up (there's less acid) and bad things can happen.

Does carbon dioxide dissolves in water?
Yes it does.
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.
is it true carbon dioxide dissolves better in cold water than warm?
no
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water what does it yield?
Under pressure, carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3.
What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?
Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.
Does carbon dioxide dissolves in water?
Yes it does.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water what weak acid is prodced?
Carbonic acid is produced when carbon dioxide dissolves in water.
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.
Where do plants in the ocean get carbon?
Carbon Dioxide dissolves in ocean water. Plants in the ocean use the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean water.
What happens if you blow into a dilute basic solution with a straw and why?
The carbon dioxide you breath out dissolves in the water and transforms, reversibly, into carbonic acid
Is it true that carbon dioxide dissolves easily in water?
Yes, the dissolved carbon dioxide reacts chemically with the water making carbonic acid, allowing more carbon dioxide to dissolve.
What is an example of a gas and liquids solution?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water.
is it true carbon dioxide dissolves better in cold water than warm?
no
What happens when ethene burns what is let out?
Combustion of ethene produces carbon dioxide and water.
How can carbon get from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere?
carbon dioxide dissolves in cold ocean surface water. The colder the water, the more CO2 can be dissolved.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water what does it yield?
Under pressure, carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3.
Why sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and reacts with the water to form carbonic acid, and therefore, you get an acid-base neutralization reaction with sodium hydroxide.
