Mineral water can be produced in the following quantities:
H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) ⇄ H₂CO₃ (l)
Explain with Chatelier why an open bottle of mineral water becomes boring over time, and at the end of the day only There's water.

Solution:

According to the reaction equation, carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) decomposes into water and carbon dioxide, which is gaseous and thus escapes the system.
This CO₂ is replicated again, according to Le Chatelier's principle, by decaying H₂CO₃.
