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.


HCN is strong acid or weak acid or base or it is solible in water?

HCN is a weak acid. It dissociates partially in water to form the hydronium ion and the cyanide ion. It is soluble in water.


What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the air soil?

When water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the soil, it forms carbonic acid. This weak acid can break down minerals in the soil, leading to the weathering of rocks and contributing to soil fertility.


What happens when a strong acid mixes with a weak base?

When a strong acid mixes with a weak base, the acid will fully dissociate into ions while the weak base will partially react, leading to the formation of water and a salt. The resulting solution will be more acidic than basic due to the excess of hydrogen ions from the acid.


How can a weak acid be neutralized effectively?

A weak acid can be neutralized effectively by adding a strong base to it. The strong base will react with the weak acid to form water and a salt, which will result in the neutralization of the acid.


Is HCO3 a weak or strong acid?

HCO3 is not an acid, but a base. It is the conjugate base of the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid). In water, it can act as a weak base by accepting a proton to form H2CO3.


Is CH3CO2H strong acid?

No, CH3CO2H (acetic acid) is a weak acid. It only partially dissociates in water to form H+ ions.


An acid that ionizes to only a slight degree in water is a?

A weak acid.


Why the weak acid cannot be used as titrant?

If you are titrating a base, using a weak acid as titrant would lead to the formation of a buffer as you added the weak acid. The weak acid would react with the base to form the salt of the weak acid + water, and this would buffer any changes in pH, thus making the titration meaningless.


Is CoCO3a strong acid or a weak acid or a weak base or a strong base?

CoCO3 (Cobalt II carbonate) would be a weak base.


Is h2o and hcl a buffer system?

No, H2O and HCl do not form a buffer system because a buffer system requires a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid to effectively resist changes in pH. HCl is a strong acid, not a weak acid, so it does not form a buffer system with water.


Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form?

Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3
