Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon Dioxide is a colorless gas with a faint, sharp odor and a sour taste when dissolved in water. Carbon Dioxide makes up about 0.03% of the air by volume. It is one of the main contributors of the greenhouse effect, because it causes the temperature in the atmosphere to rise. Carbon Dioxide or (CO2) is a very important gas. Plants need it to produce oxygen and photosynthesize ,which they use carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates. We also use Carbon Dioxide in many other ways in everyday life. Its used as a refrigerant, used in carbonation of soft drinks, in aerosol sprays, and most importantly used in fire extinguishers. Its great for putting out fire because of its heavy weight ( its heavier than air so it blankets a fire) and because it doesn't burn so it extinguishes a fire.
Carbon Dioxide can also be a bit of a nuisance.
yes it is

Why is it dangerous to run a engine in an enclosed place?
The engine burn oxygen with petrol or diesel which is a combination of carbon and hydrogen. The exhaust gases should be carbon dioxide and water (H2O) in vapour form. There will also be some incomplete combustion which means in stead of just carbon dioxide and water there will be some carbon monoxide and sometimes even carbon (soot). Carbon monoxide is very dangerous us, just small amounts will kill you. While carbon dioxide on the other hand technically can't kill you, in high enough concentrations you can suffer carbon dioxide poisoning. Just like in a locked and air tight sealed room you'll die of carbon dioxide poisoning before you die if oxygen deprevation. So it's down to inhaling the dangerous exhaust fumes. That'll cause you to pass out and then eventually kill you.
Which gas is contained in the soda water?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is mainly produced by the decomposition of pressurized carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide.
