Notes to answerer
Asker: "neutralized by absorbing it in"?

Asker: absorb = to take up or receive by chemical or molecular action: Carbonic acid is formed when water absorbs carbon dioxide.

disagree  Polangmar: Absorption is the incorporation of a substance in one state into another of a different state, eg. liquids are absorbed by a solid or gases are absorbed by a liquid. http://tinyurl.com/8hohzk Tak więc k. s. pochłania wilgoć, amoniak (gaz), ale nie ciecze.

dissolve

Chodzi tu o roztwarzanie w kwasie - tu dyskusja: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/4359479 (koncepcję miałem dobrą, ale źle wpisałem w nagłówku).

Jeśli substancją tą jest roztwór wodny gazu, to chodzi tu o rozpuszczanie - jednak nie wpływa to na tłumaczenie ("dissolve").
