In heavily populated areas, such as Los Angeles, the phenomenon of acid rain is very prominent due to the large amount of carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere via vehicles, factories, and other emitting sources. When carbon dioxide is exposed to water vapor in the atmosphere, it will create carbonic acid. The acid then condenses further into a liquid and falls from the sky in the form of acid rain. Acid rain has the ability to corrode structures, damage vehicles, and cause chemical burns on humans & animals if the concentration is high enough.
Create and balance the chemical equation that describes the process in the
scenario above.
CO2 +Н2O –> H2CO3
