... CO2 has two interesting properties: CO2 dissolves into liquid water (H2O) to create H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Carbonic acid (i.e., the fizz in soda) then reacts with any number of minerals. For instance H2CO3 + Ca H2 + CaCO3 (limestone) The result is that, if liquid water is around, CO2 will be rem ...
