A decomposition occurs when you open a can or bottle of soda. Carbonic acid. H. CO, is in carbonated beverages. It

decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. If you leave an open soda can out for a long time, it loses its fizz Which equation

represents the chemical equation for this reaction?

H20-602 - H2CO:

H2003 - H20 - CO2

H₂CO₃ + H₂O - CO₂

2H2CO3 - 2H20 - 2002

H₂CO₃→H₂O + CO₂

Exphlanation:

Soda is carbonated water. It contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water, which is carbonic acid. On opening the soda, the carbonic acid undergoes the reverse reaction and releases carbon dioxide in the air. The soda is thus left with just water and loses it's fizz.
