It's not a base,it's an acid.
CO2 in the air is actually neither a base or an acid. However, when it comes into contact with water it reacts to become H2CO3, which is an acid.

Why is it necessary to rid distilled water of CO2?
because when co2 dissolves in water, it creates carbonic acid which is very acidic...when titrating an acid/base reaction, this requires more base since the "water" would now be acidic
C02 plus H20 is a base?
No, it forms an acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
Sulphuric acid magnesium carbonate?
The chemical reaction is: MgCO3 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 +CO2 + H2O
Is CO2 a base acid or salt?
When CO2 is dissolved with water creates H2CO3 which is a acid
What acid-base imbalance occurred with hyperventilation?
When you have too much CO2, you start hyperventilating. What too much CO2 does is that it makes more acid in your blood. This problem is called acidosis. So your blood basically becomes too acidic, which leads to your body needing to remove this CO2 that is causing this.
How mdea absorbs h2s and CO2?
MDEA is a base and H2S/CO2 are acids in water
Can you make a spring airsoft gun to co2?
No. The base of the guns are different and it is impossible to change it into a quality CO2.
How does Co2 enter plants?
CO2 enters a plant through stomata. Stomata is present on the base of leaves.
Is bottled soda an acid or a base?
soda is acidic because it has CO2 and carbonate

What is the reason for baking soda to be a base?
Baking soda reacts with acid, so it's a base: HCO3- + H+ --> H2O + CO2
C02 plus H20 is a base?
No, it forms an acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)

What is the effect on a titration if the solution is exposed to air?
Unless the compound you are titrating is air sensitive, which is uncommon, the main effect of air on a titration is on the strong base solution. If you are titrating a weak acid with a strong base, then the strong base solution must be very carefully standardized so that you know the exact number of moles of base. However, carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air can combine with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). When CO2 mixes with the water of the strong base solution forming H2CO3, it will tend to slightly neutralize it, reducing the actual concentration base in the solution.
Is your breath a acid or base?
The normal human pH is 7.35-7.45, which means that a person's breath should technically be a base. However each breath you breath out has plenty of CO2 in which is mildly acidic.
