CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 which is carbonic acid see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

does anybody an enzyme addable to water that would speed up the dissolving of water

I don't suppose you realise this but you are dealing with people when you post questions on a this forum so a please and thank you wouldn't go amiss. Now I have the egg, I will take the p1ss out of your second question: you want an enzyme that helps water dissolve in what? I expect you are talking about an enzyme that helps carbon dioxide dissolve in water but I am unaware of "carbonic acid synthase" or equivalent. BTW, you are welcome.
