Chemical Reactions
1) Gas dissolution Carbon dioxide gas reacts with carbon dioxide aqueous CO2(g) ↔CO2(aq) 2) Carbonic acid formation Carbon dioxide aqueous reacts with water to form carbonic acid CO2(aq)+H2O↔H2CO3(aq) 3) Reaction that makes pop fizz Carbonic acid is formed when water mixed with carbon dioxide. This process can be reversed. This is the reaction that happens in a pop when it's opened leading to the formation of bubbles. |
