Carbonic acid

Goldring, Carly


H2CO3

H2CO3 is Carbonic acid. If you could not tell this is an acid. Carbonic acid is described as volatile or a respiratory acid. Carbonic acid is used in your daily life. This is a mixture of water and carbon dioxide (CO2 + H2O = H2CO3). You can also find carbonic acid in carbonated water or any other carbonated drinks. This is a "weak" acid and it can form two different kids of salts, carbonates and bicarbonates.
