(choose chapter or problem)

Write Lewis structures for CO3 22, HCO3 2, and H2CO3. When acid is added to an aqueous solution containing carbonate or bicarbonate ions, carbon dioxide gas is formed. We generally say that carbonic acid (H2CO3) is unstable. Use bond energies to estimate DH for the reaction (in the gas phase) H2CO3 h CO2 1 H2O Specify a possible cause for the instability of carbonic acid
