While this depends on the size and maturity of the tree and whether it is in a temperate climate of a northern climate (and so is "out of business" for about half the year) there are many estimates of tree oxygen production rates. Environment Canada, Canada's national environmental agency, has calculated that one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year or a bit less than than a pound of oxygen a day (about 12 oz) averaged over the whole year.
Since 44 lb of CO2 contains 32 lb of oxygen, 12 oz of oxygen is liberated from the photosynthesis of about 12/16 x 44/32 = 1.03 lb of carbon dioxide.

What does photosynthesis convert h2o and co2 into?
photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6H20 ----> 6O2 + C6H12O6 Produces glucose
What does a cell produce or give off when it makes energy?
Cells can't MAKE energy, they can only convert it from one form to another. Plant cells use sunlight to convert H2O and CO2 into sugar and oxygen. Animal cells convert sugar and oxygen into CO2 and H2O.
What is photsysthesis?
Using light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into sugar and free oxygen.
Is sunlight is needed by animals to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide?
No. Sunlight is needed by plants to convert CO2 to O2.
What is the plants role in carbon cycle?
Plants have the ability to convert CO2, or Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.
What would happen if humans killed the plants of an ecosystem?
If humans killed ALL plants on earth, we would all suffocate. This is because plants convert co2 (carbon dioxide), which is exhaled by all animals, back into oxygen through photosynthesis. If they didn't convert co2, the earth's oxygen supply would depleat and we would fill the atmosphere with co2, and we would have no oxygen.
Is tree a plant?
yes.. obviously. It needs oxygen to live, and it gives off carbon dioxide. So yes, a tree is a plant. What describes a plant?.........now look for a tree and reflect Improved:: Yes a tree is a plant,however they do not take in oxygen and give off CO2..Its just the opposite,Trees take in the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and produce O2(oxygen).......
What does tree produce everyday?
Oxygen and water vapor while alive and CO2 once dead.
How can you convert CO2 and H2O to benzine?
talk trash much?
Can humans destroy carbon dioxide?
No. It's possible to remove it from the atmosphere chemically, we can add more plants and plants convert co2 and release oxygen this is the only way we can convert co2 there is no way we can destroy it . also ocean absorb co2 to large extent but we are producing too much of it . plants are safest way and most easily can be bring to practice.
Do plants give out oxygen?
I think when they receive carbon dioxide
What would happen if earth ran out of oxygen?
We'd all die, except for the tree's. Tree's change CO2 (Carbondioxide) into O2 (Oxygen) so this situation is very very unlikely.
