Mother nature has a way of absorbing carbon dioxide. It's called rain. Rain water combines with carbon dioxide to make carbolic acid. The carbolic acid falls to the earth and combines with rock and dirt to make a soft rock. People down wind of large smokestacks have a problem with the acid rain. Too much acid rain will kill trees. Planet earth does not get enough rain to remove the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide we are putting into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide we are making adds to the problem of global warming.
I have wondered if putting water sprayers into our smokestacks will remove the carbon dioxide making acid water. That acid water can be mixed with soil to make soft rock. The soft rock can be used for landfill. Perhaps we can remove carbon dioxide in our smokestacks before it gets into our atmosphere in this way?
Carbon dioxide, Argon, Helium, but not Nitrogen, can be used as 'shielding' gas in Gas Metal Arc Welding.
Nitrogen makes up 75% of the air followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen
Its non-metal
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
The gases on Venus are mostly carbon dioxide (about 96%) and nitrogen (about 3.5%) with some sulfur dioxide and argon. So the atmosphere is poisonous. Nobody would be able to breathe on this planet because of all the fricken gases! Hope that helps you guys!
Yes Carbon-Dioxide is a metal
No. Carbon dioxide is a covalently bonded compound that is very different from a metal.
nitrogen dioxide is nonmetal. it is a gas which has some what heavier than air
the metal carbonate decomposes into a metal oxide and carbon dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is a compound formed by a Carbon and Oxygen. Only an element can be classified as a metal, non-metal or a metalloid. Compounds cannot be classified in these categories. Carbon and oxygen both are non-metals.
Two oxygen atoms hooking up with a lone carbon atom equals......carbon dioxide!!To be truthful, Oxygen is usually found as a diatomic element (O2), so when it goes though bonding with a non-metal (such as carbon), it becomes carbon dioxide, the di- indicating that in this covalent bond, there are two oxygen atoms. Nitrogen Dioxide forms in the same manner.
Carbon dioxide is a non-metal.
Carbon dioxide is a gas.
Yes, inorganic compound contain carbon such as carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates,carbon monoxide and metal carbides
