Synthesis
\(CO_{2} + H_{2}O \to H_{2}CO_{3}^{-}\)
Decomposition
\(H_{2}CO_{3} + H_{2}O \to HCO_{3}^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}\)
Either...
turn into carbon dioxide again if more acid present \(HCO_{3}^{-} + H_{3}O^{+} \to CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O\)
or...
Decomposition Further in presence of less acid
\(HCO_{3}^{-} + H_{2}O \to CO_{3}^{-2} + H_{3}O^{+}\)
add Calcium \(CO_{3}^{-2} + Ca^{+2} \to CaCO_{3}\)
if pH rises, turns into bicarbonate and calcium ion. \(CaCO_{3} + H_{3}O \to HCO_{3}^{-} + H_{2}O + Ca^{+2}\)
