Best Answer

Use solar furnaces in your house

Stop using our automobiles. Stop using any heat or air conditioning and stop eating foods we do not grow ourselves.

Electric power is the primary source of CO2 today from coal burning units. Push mowers would be far better devices or allowing the grass to grow. Our homes make up 50% of our annual CO2 production.

Explanation of blowing up balloon with carbon dioxide?

As the gas is pushed into the balloon the internal pressure increases, to reduce this pressure the rubbery material expands to increase the volume and ultimately reduce the pressure. Once the balloon is filled with CO2 and the knot is tied the balloon will probably sink this is because CO2 is more dense than air.


Can carbon monoxide be involved in the extraction of iron from hematite?

YES!!! In the Blast Furnace. CO is a powerful reducing agent , so it will reduce haematite to iron. In the Blast furnace, CO2 is formed from the thermal decomposition of limestone(flux). However because there is an excess of carbon (C) in the form of coke, the coke and CO2 combine to form CO (Carbon Monoxide). The carbon monoxide then reduces the haematite to iron, releasing CO2 in the process. The C , CO and CO2 then react in a cyclic manner inside the furnace. 3CO + F2O3 = 2Fe+ 3CO2


How do you eliminate dissolved carbon dioxide during titration?

A common way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is to heat your water sample to about 50-60 C, for half an hour, and then cool it back down to the temperature you'll titrate at. Often nitrogen gas is bubbled through the sample as it cools back down. You're purging CO2 because when you're heating the water you're increasing the kinetic energy of the solution which allows for more energy for the CO2 to escape the solution. Nitrogen gas is used to keep CO2 from entering back into the solution while it cools. If you don't have gaseous nitrogen then heating will still reduce the CO2 content of the water.


Why does soda dissolve chalk?

Soda is acidic as it contains H2CO3 due to the dissolved CO2 within the soda. Chalk on the other hand is a basically CaCO3 which is a base CaCO3 + H2CO3 ---> CaCO3 + H20 + CO2 The reaction will continue until here is no more H2CO3 left i/e when the soda goes flat. If this occurs before or the carbonate (CO3) is reduce to CO2 then there will be a solid left in the soda in the form of CaCO3

Why do you use CO2 free water in gas absorption?

I'm assuming you're talking about the absorption of CO2 into water. CO2 free water is used to properly measure the amount of CO2 water can actually absorb. CO2 already in the water will reduce the mass of CO2 transferred from the gas, and while I don't believe that there is a specific point at which CO2 can no longer be absorbed by water, the tendency for CO2 to be absorbed into water with CO2 already in it is reduced.
