Question

How will you justify that CO2
is acidic in nature ? Write the reaction
of carbon with steam.

Answer 1

hiii dearrr

Explanation:

The most common source of acidity in water is dissolved carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide enters the water through equilibrium with the atmosphere

CO2 (aq) « CO2 (g)

and biological degradation/photosynthesis involving organic carbon, {CH2O}

{CH2O} + O2(aq) « CO2 (aq) + H2O

Aqueous CO2 (aq) also undergoes a number of important inorganic equilibrium reactions. First, it can dissolve limestone

CaCO3 + CO2 (aq) + H2O « Ca2+(aq) + 2 HCO3- (aq)

Second, it can react with the water to form carbonic acid
