Question

6. What is (are) the product(s) in this reaction?

CO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq)
a.
HCO3
b. H2O only
c. CO2 only
d. CO2 and H2O​

Answer 1

H2CO3

the product is H2CO3 because it is on the right side of the arrow where as the others are on the left side of the arrow (making them reactants)

Answer 2

This type of reaction almost always produces a gas. The following are examples of decomposition reactions: Heating mercury (II) oxide produces oxygen gas: 2HgO (s) → 2Hg (l) + O2 (g). Leaving the cap off the carbonated soft drink bottle allows the carbonic acid to release carbon dioxide: H2CO3 (aq) → H2O (l) + CO2 (g). Hope this helps :)
