    In order to determine how many moles of CO2 provide 2 moles of H2CO3, we must look at the balanced reaction and compare the coefficients of each compound.

    CO2 + H2O - - > H2CO3

    The equation above is already balanced; therefore, for every 1 mole of CO2, we get 1 mole of H2CO3.

    2 moles H2CO3 x (1 mole CO2) / (1 mole H2CO3) = 2 moles CO2.

    We simply convert the moles of H2CO3 to moles of CO2, which results in 2 moles of CO2 required to give 2 moles of H2CO3.
