write the chemical equation for the reaction of carbonic acid (H2CO3) with water.
Solution :-
When acid is added to water then it dissociates to form the hydronium ion and carbonate anions
following is the reaction equation for he reaction. Carbonic acid is diprotic acid therefore it can show 2 dissociation equations
H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) ------- > H3O^+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) first dissociation
HCO3^-(aq) + H2O(l) ------ > H3O^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) second dissociation
