  2. 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]

  3. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    Hence the majority of carbon dioxide at geophysical or biological air-water interfaces does not convert to carbonic acid, remaining dissolved CO 2 gas. However, the uncatalyzed equilibrium is reached quite slowly: the rate constants are 0.039 s −1 for hydration and 23 s −1 for dehydration.

  4. Carbonated water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonated_water

    Modern carbonated water is made by injecting pressurized carbon dioxide into water. [36] The pressure increases the solubility and allows more carbon dioxide to dissolve than would be possible under standard atmospheric pressure. When the bottle is opened, the pressure is released, allowing gas to exit the solution, forming the characteristic ...

  5. Carbonate compensation depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate_compensation_depth

    The exact value of the CCD depends on the solubility of calcium carbonate which is determined by temperature, pressure and the chemical composition of the water – in particular the amount of dissolved CO 2 in the water. Calcium carbonate is more soluble at lower temperatures and at higher pressures.

  6. Solubility chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart

    The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Solubility pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_pump

    Carbon dioxide solubility in water, temperature dependency. Carbon dioxide, like other gases, is soluble in water.However, unlike many other gases (oxygen for instance), it reacts with water and forms a balance of several ionic and non-ionic species (collectively known as dissolved inorganic carbon, or DIC).

  9. Biological pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pump

    It constitutes around 38,000 Pg C [18] and includes dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2), bicarbonate (HCO − 3), carbonate (CO 2− 3), and carbonic acid (H 2 C O 3). The equilibrium between carbonic acid and carbonate determines the pH of the seawater. Carbon dioxide dissolves easily in water and its solubility is inversely related to temperature.
