  "term": "Carbonic acid",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. An acid that forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. As people add more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, the world's oceans absorb some of the extra carbon dioxide and it turns into carbonic acid. Extra carbonic acid is making the oceans more acidic, which can make it harder for corals and shellfish to build their skeletons and shells.\n\n2. (H2C03). The hypothetical acid of carbon dioxide and water. It exists only in the form of its salts (carbonates), acid salts (hydrogen carbonates), amines (carbamic acid), and acid chlorides (carbonyl chloride).
