Carbonic Acid(Type A acid rain) By: Emma L. & Brendon Z.
What is Carbonic Acid? • Form of Acid Rain • Weakest form of Acid Rain (sulfuric & nitric) • Also forms in the body and in the ocean • Important part in the respiration
Reactants • CO2 (g)+ H2O (l) • Carbon Dioxide + Water
How the atoms form together White = Hydrogen Red = Oxygen Black = Carbon H2O CO2 H2CO3
During the process of this synthesis H2O CO2 The two atoms H2O and CO2 come together by sharing atoms
Product • H2CO3
Chemical Equation CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 • Synthesis • Covalent Compound • Carbon Dioxide + Water = Carbonic Acid A + B = A B
Proof of Chemical reaction • Soda Pop • Bubbles • Release of CO2 • H2CO3 looses H+ to become CO2
Where is it found? • Found in the body - Transports CO2 through the body - Red blood cells help dissociate hydrogen ions • Found in the ocean - CO2 emitted by fossil fuel - Forms Carbonic Acid with water
Scientists • Robert Agnus Smith; ‘Father of Acid’ • 1852 • Scottish Chemist did most of his work in environmental issues • Discovered Acid Rain in 1852
