Etymology of CARBONIC ACID
The word "carbonic acid" dates back to the 18th century and is derived from the Latin word "carbo" meaning "coal" or "charcoal". The term refers to the presence of carbon in the compound. The suffix "ic" indicates that the acid is fully protonated, meaning it has released all of its acidic hydrogen atoms. Thus, "carbonic acid" can be understood as an acid formed from carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in water.
