React your carbon dioxide model with your water model. What you have to do first for a reaction to occur?

Question

The resulting molecule should be carbonic acid

Answer 1

In every reaction, 2 things must occur for a reaction to proceed.

1. There must be enough energy (activation energy) so that the molecules will "stick" and react when they collide.

2. The molecules must be facing the right way when they collide.

If either of the above doesn't happen, the molecules bounce back like billiard balls.

This will be true for CO2 and water as with any other system

Answer 2
