Chemical Properties of Carbon Dioxide**Carbon dioxide is a linear covalent molecule.**Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide and reacts with water to give carbonic acid. CO2 + H2O ==> H2CO3.**Carbon dioxide reacts with alkalis to give carbonates and bicarbonates. read more
Carbon dioxide is a linear covalent molecule as well as an acidic oxide, which reacts to water to form carbonic acid. Carbon dioxide is widely used in many industrial processes that require large scale refrigeration, particularly the freezing and chilling of foods. read more

Because of its properties, carbon dioxide gas has many practical and industrial applications. Frozen carbon dioxide is known as “dry ice”. Carbon dioxide gas freezes to this solid form at –78.5 degrees C (Centigrade). When thawed at atmospheric conditions, it does not go through a liquid stage, but changes directly to a gas. read more
