Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the planet. The oceans are expanding and the ice caps are melting causing sea levels to rise.
Does the CO2 in carbonated beverages have any effect on global warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming.There are other greenhouse gases caused by human activity, namely Nitrous Oxide, methane, and some CFCs. All these greenhouse gases are causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.Deforestation is another cause. Before they were cut down, forests removed large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Oxygen was released, and the carbon was stored in the trees. Almost 50% of a tree is carbon.
How does activated carbon affect pH?
as co2 increase pH decreases
Did the discovery of petroleum contribute to the increase in global warming?
Yes. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.
What are bodily symptoms of increased CO2 levels?
Increase in confusion, and finally loss of consciousness, coma and death (with high enough CO2 levels).
Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the planet. The oceans are expanding and the ice caps are melting causing sea levels to rise.
Does algae increase pH or decrease pH of water?
Algae draws all available CO2 out of water, causing its pH to increase.
What gas is responsible for trapping the sun's energy and causing an increase in global temperatures?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Why does an increase of NaOH indicate an increase of CO2?
The reaction is:NaOH + CO2 = Na2CO3An increase of CO2 lead to an increase of NaOH consumed.
Does a co2 gun increase global warming?
The CO2 in the gun was recently removed from the atmosphere in some way, the same as the CO2 that we breathe out.The CO2 that is causing global warming is the stuff that has been hidden underground for 300 million years, but that we are now releasing by burning fossil fuels.
Why does cutting down a forest increase global warming while planting a new forest decreases it?
Trees convert CO2 in to organic material. CO2 is a green house gas and prevent heat to escape from earth causing earth temperature or so called global warming. So cutting trees will increase CO2 in atmosphere and vice versa.
Does increase in CO2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?
CO2 WILL increase your respiratory rate as you are needing to breathe in more air (oxygen) to breathe.
What effect would an increase in co2 have on respiratory rate?
respiration rate would increase in order to blow off co2
How does the pH in the blood change with an increase in the level of CO2?
An increase in blood CO2 levels will result in an increase in carbonic acid formation, and therefore lower the pH.
Why is CO2 increase and what are the effects?
bavt
How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?
Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
When blood CO2 levels increase does the pH increase or decrease?
It decreases.
