Answer:
The reactionnis known as a decomposition reaction
The equation of the reaction is given below as:
H₂CO₃ -----> H₂O + CO₂
Explanation:
A reaction in which a single compound is split into two or more simpler substances is known as a decomposition reaction.
In the reaction in which when a soda can is opened and left to the environment, the fizz in the soda, carbonic acid, separates into water and carbon dioxide is an example of a decomposition reaction.
The equation of the reaction is given below:
H₂CO₃ -----> H₂O + CO₂
In the reaction above, a larger molecular weight compound, carbonic acid with the molecular, H₂CO₃ is splits into two simpler substances of smaller molecular weight, water, H₂O and carbon dioxide, CO₂.
This reaction rate is made faster by an increase in temperature and by a decrease in pressure of the soda.
