Carbon dioxide is a gas at 20 Celsius. It deposits into a solid at -80 Celsius.
Carbon dioxide is a gas at 20 C.
Gas
In these conditions carbon dioxide is a gas.
It exists either as a gas as carbon dioxide or CO2, or it is dissolved in water as H2CO3 (note that if you add the formulas for water and carbon dioxide, you get carbonic acid: H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3). You cannot have pure carbonic acid that is not in the presence of water, and thus H2CO3 exists ONLY as a dissolved solution in water.
Henry's law constant for Carbon Dioxide at 20 degrees Celsius is: 1,6*10^3 ATM
To determine the volume of carbon dioxide needed, you would need to know the stoichiometry of the reaction between carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate. In this case, since 20 grams of calcium carbonate is given, you would convert that to moles using the molar mass of calcium carbonate. Then, using the balanced equation, you can determine the mole ratio between carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate. Finally, using the molar volume of carbon dioxide gas at the given conditions (usually 22.4 L/mol at standard temperature and pressure), you can calculate the volume of carbon dioxide needed.
Oxygen makes up roughly 20% of the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide makes up 0.035% of the atmosphere.
Oxygen---------- 4-5 % Carbon dioxide---------- 20% Nitrogen--------- 75%

Carbon monoxide binds very tightly to heme; carbon dioxide does not. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous per se, but it's not harmless either; concentrations of carbon dioxide above 20% or so are pretty bad for you even if there's also plenty of oxygen to breathe.
Oxygen gas (when we exhale, we breathe out carbon dioxide).
The air which we are breathing is containing about 20% ofcarbon dioxide which got into our bodies while breathing.
22 grams carbon dioxide (0.5 moles)
Carbon dioxide is exhaled (whereas 20% oxygen is inhaled, since the vast majority of the remainder of inhaled air is composed of nitrogen, 79%).
