Answer:

Kindly check the picture attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

H2CO3 --------------------------> H2O + CO2

The reaction above is a decomposition reaction showing how the carbonic acid that is H2CO3 decomposed into H2O and CO2. The study of how reactants react(that is the amount in which they react) in order to form a product (and the amount of product formed) is known as the stoichiometry.

H2CO3 which is the reactant has three oxygen atoms which are all directly bonded to the carbon atom. One of the oxygen atom is bonded doubly to the carbon atom.

CO2 and H2O are the products. The CO2 is linear, O=C=O with the two oxygen atoms bonded doubly each to each carbon atoms. The H2O is bent.
