Add an acid to the salt or solution. If it bubbles, there's CO32- there.

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.


Can plants create oxygen without the presence of CO2?

no as c02 is like oxygen for plants and we can not breathe out co2 without oxygen


What is the purpose of using lime water during the reaction of the acid sample with marble chip?

Lime water is used during the reaction of the acid sample with marble chips to test for the presence of carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction, it will react with the lime water to form a white precipitate of calcium carbonate, confirming the presence of carbon dioxide in the acid sample.


If theresba gas leak will the CO2 monitor go off?

No, a carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor will not detect a gas leak. CO2 monitors are designed to detect elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the air, not other gases like methane or propane which are typically associated with gas leaks. It's important to have a gas detector specifically designed to detect other types of gases in case of a gas leak.


How can you determine the presence of carbon in sugar sample?

if it helps CO2 can be found using the limewater test which is collecting the gas and putting through limewater if lime water goes milky/murky it contains co2. perhaps add water to the substance to help make the co2

What is the function of bromthymol blue in CO2?

Bromthymol blue is used as an indicator to detect the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a solution. It changes color in the presence of acidic conditions, which can indicate the presence of CO2 as it forms carbonic acid when dissolved in water.


What is the solution used to detect the presence of CO2?

Calcium hydroxide solution is used to detect the presence of carbon bi oxide. When carbon bi oxide is passed through the solution of calcium hydroxide, it turns milky white. There is formation of calcium carbonate particle. This is what was taught to me as a kid in my school.


Why are CO2 detectors being used by the UK border agency?

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is present in the breath exhaled by the body. Sensitive CO2 detectors sample the air from inside trucks as they arrive from Europe. They can detect illegal immigrants hiding in the truck as the level of CO2 would be higher than it would be if people hadn't been in there breathing out CO2 for ages while the truck crossed The Channel.also they of couldn't of breathed with air for the the journey

Does the pH increase with the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2)?

Yes, the pH decreases with the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2).


Does the presence of CO2 in a solution raise or lower the pH level?

The presence of CO2 in a solution lowers the pH level.


What will happen when CO2 is washed with kmno4 water?

When carbon dioxide (CO2) is washed with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) water, the KMnO4 will be reduced by the CO2 to form a brown precipitate of manganese dioxide (MnO2). This reaction can be used to determine the presence of CO2 in a gas sample by observing the color change from purple (KMnO4) to brown (MnO2).


How does the presence of CO2 affect the behavior of bed bugs?

The presence of CO2 attracts bed bugs and stimulates their feeding and mating behaviors.


How do you know whether co2 is present in something or not?

CO2 has a distinct smell, faint, but still distintict. Also, if you inhale it you will start to pant due to a lack of oxygen. That is how you can tell. Ayraayra: acutally the "panting" or increased breathing rate is due to the build up of CO2 not because the lack of O2.


What was the PH trend seen when adding CO2 to the water sample?

As CO2 is added to water, the pH usually decreases.


When does aerobic occur?

in the presence of CO2 (Carbon dioxide)


Why does the presence of CO2 lead to a decrease in pH levels?

The presence of CO2 leads to a decrease in pH levels because when CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water, making it more acidic.
