  2. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    In even a slight presence of water, carbonic acid dehydrates to carbon dioxide and water, which then catalyzes further decomposition. [6] For this reason, carbon dioxide can be considered the carbonic acid anhydride. The hydration equilibrium constant at 25 °C is [H 2 CO 3]/[CO 2] ≈ 1.7×10 −3 in pure water [12] and ≈ 1.2×10 −3 in ...

  3. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The taste of soda water (and related taste sensations in other carbonated beverages) is an effect of the dissolved carbon dioxide rather than the bursting bubbles of the gas. Carbonic anhydrase 4 converts carbon dioxide to carbonic acid leading to a sour taste, and also the dissolved carbon dioxide induces a somatosensory response. [128]

    Dissolved salt does not evaporate back into the atmosphere like water, but it does form sea salt aerosols in sea spray. Many physical processes over ocean surface generate sea salt aerosols. One common cause is the bursting of air bubbles, which are entrained by the wind stress during the whitecap formation.

  5. Carbon cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_cycle

    Carbon dioxide also dissolves directly from the atmosphere into bodies of water (ocean, lakes, etc.), as well as dissolving in precipitation as raindrops fall through the atmosphere. When dissolved in water, carbon dioxide reacts with water molecules and forms carbonic acid, which contributes to ocean acidity. It can then be absorbed by rocks ...

  6. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    Thermohaline circulation moves dissolved carbon dioxide to cooler waters where it is more soluble, increasing carbon concentrations in the ocean interior. The biological pump moves dissolved carbon dioxide from the surface ocean to the ocean's interior through the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic carbon by photosynthesis. Organic ...

  7. Carbon dioxide (data page) - Wikipedia

    ‡ Second column of table indicates solubility at each given temperature in volume of CO 2 as it would be measured at 101.3 kPa and 0 °C per volume of water. The solubility is given for "pure water", i.e., water which contain only CO 2. This water is going to be acidic. For example, at 25 °C the pH of 3.9 is expected (see carbonic acid).

  8. Effervescent tablet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effervescent_tablet

    Effervescent or carbon tablets are tablets which are designed to dissolve in water and release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is generated by a reaction of a compound containing bicarbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate or magnesium bicarbonate, with an acid such as citric acid or tartaric acid. Both compounds are present in the tablet in ...

  9. Oceanic carbon cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_carbon_cycle

    Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is made up of bicarbonate (HCO 3 −), carbonate (CO 3 2−) and carbon dioxide (including both dissolved CO 2 and carbonic acid H 2 CO 3). DIC can be converted to particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) through precipitation of CaCO 3 (biologically or abiotically).
