Best Answer

If you manage to rearrange the atoms in some other way, so that you get energy out of it, you can say that the compound "stores energy". This would mean that the compound you are considering has a HIGHER energy level than if you arrange atoms some other way.But for most purposes, carbon dioxide has a LOWER energy content than if you separate it, for example, into carbon and oxygen.

It can store energy - especially if it is compressed or heated. There aren't a lot of reactions though that will release the energy of the chemical bonds by reacting with the CO2

What energy is gas on stove?

The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air. The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed. Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.


Chemical formulas for glucose oxygen and carbon dioxide?

For oxygen it is O2 for Glucose it is C6H12O6 and for Carbon dioxide it is CO2. When they react in the body to produce energy the equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.


How does carbon change into carbon dioxide?
