What is the chemical ratio of CO2?
This compound is carbon dioxide; the ratio oxygen/carbon is 2.
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dioxide or C02?
The ratio oxygen/carbon is of course 2.
Why do you inhale and exhale?
because your body extracts the oxygen from the air in your lungs and as a result the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen in increased. Edit: During aerobic respiration, your body produces carbon dioxide from the breakdown of glucose to create ATP. Carbon dioxide is also produced during fermentation.
According to the law of definite proportions what should the ratio of carbon to oxygen be for carbon dioxide made by automobile exhaust?
For carbon dioxide it will be 1 part carbon and 2 parts oxygen.
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dixide?
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
What is the carbon dioxide ratio?
It is 1 carbon atom to every two oxygen atoms. I'm no maths whizz, but if carbon dioxide is CO2, then that must be it.
What law is described by the fact that the ratio of the mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide to the mass of oxygen in carbon monoxide?
law of multiple proportion
What is the ratio of the gases in the atmosphere?
The ratio is approxNitrogen : Oxygen : Argon : Carbon Dioxide :: 39000 : 10500 : 465 : 19.
Is carbon dioxide an element or a compound or a mechanical mixture?
Carbon dioxide is a compound. It is made up of the elements carbon and oxygen in a 1:2 ratio. It is a covalent compound that has simple molecular structure.
What two elements combine to form carbon dioxide?
Veneger and Baking Soda combined makes carbon dioxideCarbon and oxygen.When any carbon-containing compound reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide is likely to be formed.
There is a synergistic relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide that facilitates their uptake and release in both the pulmonary and systemic capillaries?
Newly formed carbon dioxide is transported from the tissue cells to the lungs by the way of plasma and red blood cells. In the plasma, the carbamino compound, bicarbonate and dissolved CO2 are the main ways that carbon dioxide is transported in the plasma. The carbamino compound makes up about 1% of the CO2 dissolved in the plasma and chemically binds with amino proteins. The bicarbonate makes about 5% of the CO2 dissolved in the plasma and combines with water, a process known as hydrolysis. The hydrolysis of CO2 and water forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which ionizes into HCO3- and H+ ions. The dissolve carbon dioxide accounts for about 5% of the total CO2 released at the lungs. This is the portion of CO2 in the venous blood that is measured to assess the patients partial pressure of CO2 (Pco2). In the red blood cells the main ways carbon dioxide is transported through the body is by dissolved CO2, carbamino-Hb and bicarbonate. The dissolve carbon dioxide accounts for about 5% of the total CO2 released at the lungs. 21% of the carbon dioxide combines with hemoglobin to form a compound called carbamino-Hb. 63% of the carbon dioxide is transported from the tissue cells to the lungs in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3-). As the venous blood enters into the alveolar capillaries, chemical reactions are reversed. The bicarbonate is transformed back in to carbon dioxide and eliminated in the alveoli. The saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen determines the amount of carbon dioxide content. When blood is saturated with oxygen, it reduces the ability for it to carry carbon dioxide, and when the blood is deoxygenated increases the ability to carry carbon dioxide, this is known as the Haldane Effect. For example, if the hemoglobin was 75% saturated with oxygen, it will be 25% saturated with carbon dioxide. Another factor that can influence the uptake and release of oxygen and carbon dioxide would be an acid-base balance disturbance. The normal bicarbonate (HCO3-) to carbonic acid (H2CO3) ratio in the blood plasma is 20:1. This ratio of 20:1 is very important in maintaining a normal pH level. If this ratio was to change, the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood would also change. Something like alveolar hypoventilation would cause the carbon dioxide levels to increase and that oxygen levels to decrease.
Oxygen can combine with carbon to form two compounds carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide The ratio of the masses of oxygen that combine with a given mass of carbon is 1 or 2 This is an example of?
the law of multiple proportions
