Carbonate

The acid that causes the tart taste of carbonated beverages.

Chemical Formula: H2CO3
Other names: Carbonic acid
Layman's explanation: The hypothetical acid formed with carbon dioxide and water; it is only in the H2CO3 form when in solution. This acid is found in everyday products, the most prominent of which include carbonated beverages. The conversion of carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide in sodas is the reason the beverage looses the bubbling.
