Write Lewis structures for CO₃²⁻, HCO₃⁻, 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 (H2C03) is unstable. Use bond energies to estimate ∆E for the reaction (in the gas phase)

H₂CO₃ → CO₂ + H₂O

Specify a possible cause for the instability of carbonic acid.

the decomposition of carbonic acid,H2CO3, to carbon dioxide and water is a fast reaction. An enzyme carbonic annhydrase increases the rate of this reaction more than 500 times. Write an equation for this reaction

Aqueous carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) decomposes into carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.
