CO2 in water behaves as :

CO2 (g) + H2O (l) → H2CO3 (aq) ; H2CO3 ⇋ H+(aq) + HCO3- (aq) ; HCO3- ⇋ H+(aq) + CO32- (aq).

Question

CO₂ in water behaves as :

A.weak dibasic acid H₂CO₃

B.weak monobasic acid HO - CO₂H

C.weak diacid base CO(OH)₂

D.weak monoacid base HO - CO₂H

CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → H₂CO₃ (aq) ; H₂CO₃ ⇋ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃^- (aq) ; HCO₃^- ⇋ H⁺(aq) + CO₃^2- (aq).
