Carbonic acid

Carbonated water is This produces a bubbly drink that’s also known as sparkling water, club soda, soda water, seltzer water, and fizzy water. Apart from seltzer water, carbonated waters usually have salt added to improve their taste. Sometimes small amounts of other minerals are included. Natural sparkling mineral waters, such as Perrier and San Pellegrino, are different. These waters are captured from a mineral spring and tend to contain minerals and sulfur compounds. They are often carbonated as well. Tonic water is a form of carbonated water that contains a bitter compound called quinine, along with sugar or Summary Carbonated water combines water and carbon dioxide under pressure. Sodium and other minerals are often added. Carbon dioxide and water react chemically to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid that’s been shown to stimulate the same nerve receptors in your mouth as mustard. This triggers a burning, prickly sensation that can be both irritating and enjoyable ( The pH of carbonated water is 3–4, which means it’s slightly acidic. However, drinking an acidic beverage like carbonated water does not make your body more acidic. Your kidneys and lungs remove excess carbon dioxide. This keeps your blood at a Summary Carbonated water is acidic, but your body should maintain a stable, slightly alkaline pH no matter what you consume. One of the biggest concerns about sparkling water is its effect on teeth, as your enamel is directly exposed to acid. There is very little re...

Carbonic Acid 2CO 3 and molecular formula as CH 2O 3. It is an inorganic weak acid, which exists only as a solution. Carbonic acid is also known as acid of air, aerial acid or dihydrogen carbonate. It forms two kinds of salts: carbonates and bicarbonates. Ph of carbonic acid is 4.68 in 1mM. Occurrence: Carbonic acid is present in blood in the human body. It is formed in the human body when water gets dissolved with Properties of Carbonic Acid: Physical Properties: • Appearance: Grayish white solid. • Melting point: 210 Celsius, boiling point: -78 degree Celsius. • Molecular weight: 62.024 g/mol. • Solubility: Insoluble. • Carbonic acid has a pH value of less than 7. • Carbonic acid is odorless and has the alkaline taste. Chemical Properties: • Carbonic acid is weak and unstable dibasic acid. • It has an acidity of 6.3 pK. Preparation of Carbonic acid: Reagents • • • Litmus • Water Safety: Wear lab goggles and try to avoid skin contact with hydrochloric acid. Follow general safety recommendations. Steps involved: • Pour some amount of water into the beaker. • Add 5-6 drops of litmus in the beaker. • Put a piece of calcium carbonate into a test tube or into some glass. • Pour a little amount of hydrochloric acid into the test tube/glass and close the opening of it with a stopper with an outlet tube. • Put the end of the outlet tube into the litmus solution. The gas which gets produced will start to bubble through the solution and the solution color will change. • Test the pH...

In this case, the reaction of carbonates with the main group elements and its products, salts, is explained. Figure 1: Carbonate ion. Chemical Characteristics In general, the most common main group elements used as carbonates are the Alkali and Alkaline metals. All main group carbonates, except Na, K, Rb and Cs are unstable to heat and insoluble in water. Usually all carbonates are soluble in acid, because of the formation of bicarbonate ion. Its regular physical appearance is of a white powder. The main uses of carbonates is as raw materials in different industrial processes such as drug development, glass making, pulp and paper industry, sodium chemicals (silicates), soap and detergent production, paper industry, water softener, clay and concrete production, among others. Other carbonates such as Beryllium Carbonate (BeCO 3) and Tallium Carbonate (Tl 2CO 3) are consider toxic and are used in fungicides and poison manufacture. From main group elements Sodium Carbonate (\(Na_2CO_3\)) and Calcium Ca...
