It exists either as a gas as carbon dioxide or CO2, or it is dissolved in water as H2CO3 (note that if you add the formulas for water and carbon dioxide, you get carbonic acid: H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3). You cannot have pure carbonic acid that is not in the presence of water, and thus H2CO3 exists ONLY as a dissolved solution in water.

RossCarbon dioxide can be a solid, liquid or gas. At standard temperature and pressure it is a gas. <----------------- see the guy who said that? WRONG! Carbon dioxide can only be a solid or gas. It goes through sublimation to skip the liquid state. But true, at room temperature, carbon dioxide is gas.

What state symbol is carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is not a state symbol. It is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Does decomposition increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Yes, decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as organic matter breaks down. This process is part of the carbon cycle, where carbon is transferred between living organisms, the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's crust.
What is the state of carbon dioxide at room temperature?
At room temperature (around 25°C), carbon dioxide is a gas.
In which compound does carbon have an oxidation state of?
Carbon typically has an oxidation state of 4 in compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
Does carbon dioxide have particulates?
No, carbon dioxide does not have particulates. It is a colorless and odorless gas composed of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Particulates refer to tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air.
