The complete reaction is CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3 -
- The bicarbonate ion (HCO3 - ) is a typical blood component.
- Bicarbonate is formed naturally when carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which then dissociates into a bicarbonate ion and a proton (H+).
- This chemical equation governs the body's acid/base metabolism. To reestablish CO2 equilibrium pressure, the aforementioned reaction reverses, dissolving some of the H2CO3 and releasing CO2.
- As a result, the carbonated soft drink you're drinking fizzes.
