Detailed explanation-1: -carbonic acid, (H2CO3), a compound of the elements hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It is formed in small amounts when its anhydride, carbon dioxide (CO2), dissolves in water. HCO3− + OH− ⇌ CO32− + H2O (fast) Between pH values of 8 and 10, all the above equilibrium reactions are significant.

Detailed explanation-2: -When carbon dioxide reacts with water, carbonic acid is formed, from which hydrogen ions dissociate, increasing the acidity of the system. Therefore, in addition to any greenhouse effect, anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere can increase the acidity of the atmosphere and precipitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and slowly reacts with water to produce carbonic acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -H2O + CO2->H2CO3 (carbonic acid) The hydrogens are now bonded to carbon instead of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -When carbon dioxide dissolves in water about one-percent of it forms carbonic acid, which almost immediately dissociates to bicarbonate anions and protons.
