The process usually involves carbon dioxide under high pressure. When the pressure is reduced, the carbon dioxide is released from the solution as small bubbles, which causes the solution to become effervescent, or fizzy. A common example is the dissolving of carbon dioxide in water, resulting in carbonated water.hen the pressure is reduced, the carbon dioxide is released from the solution as small bubbles, which causes the solution to become effervescent, or fizzy.

Acids in acid rain promote the dissolution of calcium carbonate by reacting with the carbonate anion. This produces a solution of bicarbonate. Because surface waters are in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon dioxide there is a constant concentration of carbonic acid, H 2 CO 3, in the water.hen water is in equilibrium with both CO 2 form the atmosphere and carbonate containing rock, the pH of the water is buffered to a pH of 8.3, close to the pKa of the weak acid bicarbonate HCO 3 - (pKa = 8.4). The buffered water resists changes to pH from additional acid or base.
