Respiratory acid definition of Respiratory acid in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

carbonic acid, H₂CO₃, a weak dibasic acid (see acids and bases acids and bases, two related classes of chemicals; the members of each class have a number of common properties when dissolved in a solvent, usually water. Properties

Carbonic acid forms carbonate and bicarbonate (or acid carbonate) salts (see carbonate carbonate , chemical compound containing the carbonate radical or ion, CO₃⁻². Most familiar carbonates are salts that are formed by reacting an inorganic base (e.g., a metal hydroxide) with carbonic acid.

carbonic acid

a weak acid formed when carbon dioxide combines with water: obtained only in aqueous solutions, never in the pure state. Formula: H₂CO₃

H₂CO₃The acid formed by combination of carbon dioxide and water.

Carbonic Acid

H₂CO₃, a weak dibasic acid that under normal conditions exists only in dilute aqueous solutions. Carbonic acid is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water: . Under normal conditions, the total amount of carbonic acid in a solution saturated with CO₂ does not exceed 1 percent of the CO₂ content. The dissociation constants are K₁ = 4.0 × 10^–7 and K₂ = 5.2 × 10^–11 at 18°C. Carbonic acid decomposes completely when its solutions are heated, liberating CO₂. Depending on the basicity, the acid forms two series of salts. The neutral salts, known as carbonates, have the anion, and the acid salts, known as bicarbonates, have the anion.
