Carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) dissociation in water takes place in 2 steps. its a polypro tic acid as it has 2 H⁺ ions it can donate.
the dissociation reactions in water are as follows;
H₂CO₃ + H₂O ---> HCO₃⁻ + H₃O⁺
in the first dissociation it releases a proton that combines with water to form a hydronium ion.
HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ----> CO₃²⁻ + H₃O⁺
second dissociation results in the carbonate ion and hydronium ion formation.
As the ratio of acid dissociation constant ka1/ka2 > 10⁴ , dissociation takes place in 2 steps.
In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
It’s c it’s a process in which plants releases water through their leaves back into the air
