| Introduction | Carbonic acid, also known as Volatile acid and Respiratory acid, which is one of the acids. When carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water, a portion of the carbon dioxide combines with the water to form carbonic acid. |
| Chemical reaction | after carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolved in water, a part of carbon dioxide will combine with water to form carbonic acid. The reaction is a reversible reaction, and the equation is as follows: the equilibrium constant of the reaction at room temperature is Kh = 1.70 × 10 − 3; Therefore, most of the carbon dioxide does not participate in the reaction. Without the presence of the catalyst, the reaction rate is very slow, and the reaction rate constant is only 0.039 s − 1 (positive reaction) and 23 s − 1 (reverse reaction). |
