Solution

Combination of Carbon dioxide and water
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) chemically combine to form Carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) .
$\underset{Carbon dioxide}{{CO}_{2} (g)} + \underset{Water}{H_{2} O} (l) ⇌ \underset{\underset{(Carbonic acid)}{Hydrogen Carbonate}}{H_{2} {CO}_{3} (aq)}$
Carbonic acid / Hydrogen Carbonate ( H₂CO₃)
It is also known as Di-hydrogen carbonate / aerial acid/acid of air.
It is a weak mineral acid.
Structure
Hence, Carbon dioxide and water combine to form Carbonic acid
