Cars produce co2 through the combustion of gasoline (or any other petroleum based fuel). When oxygen and gasoline combusts, 3 bi products are formed. water, carbon dioxide (co2) and carbon monoxide (co)

What is a CO2 party?

a party where only CO2 molecules can attend? (:


Are auto manufacturers required to provide replacement parts for cars they no longer produce please elaborate?

auto manufacturers are only required to produce parts for a couple of years after models go out of production, however you can buy after market parts for most vehicles


Do plants absorb more carbon dioxide at day or night?

The photosynthesis process that occurs at night is called the light-independent reaction, or the calvin cycle. It is a process that utilizes the materials created in the light dependent reaction, ( the process that requires light) and CO2 to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.


Which process brings carbon into the living portion of its cycle?

The Carbon - Oxygen Cycle Note: The carbon and oxygen cycles are independent but very closely related. The two cycles have been combined in the assignment below. Some of the information that you find on the carbon cycle will not contain information on the oxygen cycle. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in by plants to be used in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon based compounds are produced from this CO2 and the water (H2O) that is absorbed by the roots of the plant. Plants give off oxygen (O2) as a waste product of photosynthesis. When animals consume plants or other animals they take in the carbon based compounds. Animals inhale the O2 given off by plants and exhale CO2, a waste product of cellular respiration. Plants also take in CO2 and release O2 during the process of cellular respiration. The activities described above are just a part of the interactions which take place in the carbon - oxygen cycle


What causes heat pollution?

heat pollution is caused by lots of things for example light bulbs !! They produce more heat pollution than light, also cars, factories, farms, etc.

What cars produce less Co2?

Hybrid cars produce less carbon dioxide because they run partially on an electric motor and partially on a gasoline engine. Therefore a hybrid will produce less CO2 than a car that relies solely on a gasoline powered engine.


The fastes co2 car in the world?

Petrol cars produce CO2 as a combustion by-product, so it might be said that whatever the fastest car in the world is the fastest CO2 car. There are no cars powered by CO2 - obviously - as any chemical reaction starting with CO2 needs energy to produce another substance. There might be a car somewhere powered by compressed CO2, but this will stop moving when it runs out of pressure. Consequently the fastest CO2 car is a parked car.


Do hybrid cars pollute the air?

They are gas powered and produce the same CO2 and pollution as any other gas powered unit. They just produce a little bit less of it.


Which gas is mostly produce during respiration?

Animals produce co2 and plants produce o2 and co2


Do planes produce more CO2 than cars?

I would presume so, Much higher fuel consumption so higher emissions.


Is ti water in carbon dioxide?

No. It's formula is CO2. One carbon and two oxygen. Cars produce water i think but I'm not sure how.

Do cars produce CO2?

Yes. Cars burn up petrol, diesel, LPG and so forth. When burning hydrocarbons, they will react with oxygen to form water and CO2. Unfortunately this is not the case. Not all fuel is converted to CO2 and H2O. Some is converted to CO (carbon monoxide, very poisonouss) and some doesnt burn at all or is converted to a shorter chained hydrocarbon. Its the car exhaust catalyst's job to convert these (and other) substances to CO2.
