Why is it dangerous to keep increasing the amount of CO2 in atmosphere?
We won't asphyxiate. But CO2 is a heat trapping gas, and it takes decades for the earth to adjust to any slight rise. Human activity has increased CO2 levels from 280 ppm prior to the industrial revolution to nearly 400 ppm today. We will pass 500 ppm before 2050, at the current rate. Many climate scientists believe 350 ppm may be the maximum sustainable level for CO2.
How do you figure ppm of CO2 in the air?
To calculate the parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the air, you would measure the concentration of CO2 in the air using a CO2 sensor or monitor, and then divide that by the total volume of the air sample. This would give you the ppm of CO2 in the air sample. Common methods include using infrared gas analyzers or chemical absorbents.
How many parts per million of CO2 is 2.5 mole?
To convert from moles to parts per million (ppm) for a gas like CO2, you need to know the volume of the gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP). At STP, 1 mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. From there, you can calculate the ppm using the formula: ppm = (moles of gas / total moles of gas) * 1,000,000.
How do I convert 10 percent CO2 to parts per million CO2?
-- Take the number of percent. -- Multiply it by 10,000-- The answer is the number of parts per million. . 10 percent = 100,000 parts per million.
The concentration of carbon dioxide CO2 in air is 380 ppm What is this in a percentage using significant figures?
.000380 is 380 millionths, ppm is to millionths what % is to hundredths. If you now move the decimal two places to the right to conver to a percentage, then 380 ppm is approximately .04%, and thus, CO2 makes up .04% of the air (which is what I assume this question is refering to)
What is smoke density?
measures how many (usually) parts per million (ppm) of whatever smoke/gas/etc is being looked for. For instance a smoke detector looks for X ppm of smoke in air, or a CO2 sensor measures the ppm of CO2 in air - ppm is a measure of density.
What is smoke density analyser?
measures how many (usually) parts per million (ppm) of whatever smoke/gas/etc is being looked for. For instance a smoke detector looks for X ppm of smoke in air, or a CO2 sensor measures the ppm of CO2 in air - ppm is a measure of density.

How much ppm are there in co2 fire extinguisher?
It should be at least 99.5 percent CO2.

This would give you the ppm of CO2 in the air sample. Common methods include using infrared gas analyzers or chemical absorbents.
CO2 probe sensor?
A CO2 probe sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide. It comes in two ranges, 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm.
What is the concentration in parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in rainwater with a pH of 5.6?
The concentration of CO2 in rainwater with a pH of 5.6 is approximately 10 parts per million (ppm).

How do I convert 10 percent CO2 to parts per million CO2?
-- Take the number of percent. -- Multiply it by 10,000-- The answer is the number of parts per million. . 10 percent = 100,000 parts per million.
How much CO2 ppm do human lungs exhale on average?
It depends on a number of factors such as age, heart rate and depth of breathing. However, on average a human being exhales around 40,000 PPM of CO2.
Why do you expect seasonal variation in the atmospheric CO2 levels?
Global carbon dioxide levels are highest in May and lowest in October. The Northern Hemisphere has much more land for vegetation to grow on compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up slowly during the northern winter, when trees and plants are dormant. Then in May everything begins to grow, and CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere, so the levels start coming down. In October and November vegetation stops growing, and in its dormant state it stops absorbing CO2, so the carbon in the atmosphere increases. These levels go up and down like this every year. The readings for 1958, 1959 and 1960 show this: 1960: May: 320.5 ppm: October: 314.5 ppm 1959: May: 320.0 ppm: October: 313.5 ppm 1958: May: 318.0 ppm: October: 313.0 ppm Ppm means parts per million, so 320 ppm is the same as 0.032 percent (per hundred). The recent readings for May are: 2011: 394.35 ppm 2010: 393.22 ppm 2009: 390.18 ppm See the graph at the link below.
What ppm amount is 0.04 percent CO2?
0.04 percent is 400 per million.
