Carbonic acid refers to a weak inorganic acid, which is also known as the solution of carbon dioxide in water. It only prevails as a solution and is also known as the aerial acid, acid of air, dihydrogen carbonate, or carbon dioxide solution. It is most familiar as a constituent of the majority of the aerated drinks like soft drinks and sodas.

The carbonic acid's chemical formula is H₂CO₃. Its decomposition to water and carbon dioxide is shown by the equation:

H₂CO₃ (g) = H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
