The reactions are as follows:

(i) Charcoal reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas.

 \\ \ \ C\ (s)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ + O_{2}\ (g) \ \ \ \rightarrow\ \ \ \ CO_{2}\ (g) \\Carbon\ \ \ \ \ \ Oxygen\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Carbon\ Dioxide \\\ _{from\ Charcoal}

(ii) Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, hence acidic in nature 

\\ CO_{2}\(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ + H_{2}O\ (l)\ \ \ \rightarrow\ \ \ H_{2}CO_{3}\(aq) \\ Carbon\ Dioxide\ \ \ \ Water\ \ \ \ \ \ \ Carbonic\ Acid
