Is carbon oxide an acid?
Yes t is acidic. Carbon dioxide is a acidic gas.
What Colourless gas that is mildly acidic?
Carbon Dioxide CO2
Are nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide the same?
NO!!! Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a Brown Gas. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas. Each gas differs by one atom viz. nitrogen and / or carbon. However, they are both acidic gases. When dissolved in water they form nitric acid (HNO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3).
Why does blood turn acidic if we don't exhale carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide. It's a gas that, if it's dissolved in liquids (such as water and also blood) makes that liquid acidic. The more carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid the more acidic it gets. So if you don't exhale carbon dioxide but still inhale it the blood turns acidic. This is what happens when you hyperventilate. More carbon dioxide is absorbed during inhalation than is emitted during exhalation. This is a simplified explanation so please don't quote me in academic circles.
Which gas causes a decrease in pH level of water?
Carbon dioxide because it is an acidic oxide (weak)
Is carbon oxide an acid?
Yes t is acidic. Carbon dioxide is a acidic gas.
What Colourless gas that is mildly acidic?
Carbon Dioxide CO2
When carbon reacts with an acid what gas is given off?
carbon dioxide. CO32- + 2H+ -> CO2 + H2O
What happens to water vapor concentration when carbon dioxide increases?
Co2 is a acidic gas. water turn acidic when CO2 dissolved.
Are nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide the same?

Why does carbon dioxide have low pH?
As a gas, carbon dioxide does not have a pH. However, it is slightly soluble in water and when it dissolves in water, the resultant solution is slightly acidic. Slightly acidic solutions have a pH less than 7 which is considered "low".
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What is carbon dioxide classified as?
It is a non-flammable gas. It is considered a Simple Asphyxiant because it displaces air and if the concentration is high enough you'll suffocate. In shipment CO2 is a Non-Flammable Compressed Gas.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
How is carbon dioxide an acidic oxide?
when carbon dioxide react with water it causes carbonic acid.
