Once CO2 crosses the waterâs surface, the molecules gain a shell of water molecules and transfer from carbon dioxide gas, or CO2(g), to carbon dioxide in an aqueous solution, or CO2(aq). This process is very slow. Equilibrium. Not all CO2 molecules remain dissolved in water -- a fraction of them react with water to form carbonic acid, or H2CO3.
Use a small plate or bowl to help control your portions.
