which was used at his chemical works, and through which a current of carbonic acid gas passed from a neighboring lime-kiln. This current of gas should have been shut off while the men were at work ...

The following experiments show that this is not so, but that carbonic acid is first formed, the process contrasting with urease action in which carbon dioxide is directly produced in the splitting ...

and in a great measure it is also used as a source of carbonic acid. There is scarcely any chemical process which can be carried on without its aid, and it forms (when pure) the most useful re ...

How can we determine whether carbon dioxide is actually being used or expelled by a plant or an animal? Carbon dioxide dissolves in (and reacts with) water, forming carbonic acid. As this acid forms, ...

A hydrogen atom from the carbonic acid bonds to the carbonate ion in ocean water and creates a bicarbonate ion (HCO-3) which the shell-making organisms can’t use.

Carbonic acid causes the acidity in fizzy drinks. This is used as a test for carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater the limewater changes from colourless to milky.
