Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept- One of the most significant gases that dissolve in water is carbon dioxide. While some of it remains as dissolved gas, the majority of it either combines with the water to create carbonic acid or with carbonates already present to create bicarbonates.
By doing this, the water's dissolved carbon dioxide is eliminated. Because of the inadequate ionisation of carbon dioxide in water, carbonic acid, which is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, is a weak acid.
Carbonic acid is a weak acid that forms two salts. Only some molecules interact withQuestion Image to generate Question Image whenQuestion Image dissolve in water. The majority of it dissolves, while the Question Image stays loosely hydrated. A weak dibasic acid is Question Image. Two salts are produced in succession. Carbonic acid's hydride isQuestion Image. Thus, the given statement is true.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
