Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Does Carbon dioxide diffuse faster than sulfur dioxide?
yes :p
Why carbon monoxide is better reducing agent than carbon?
It is 'better' in the sense of 'faster' because gas (like CO is) is more reactive than liquid or solid state material (like carbon black). It is not a more 'powerful' or 'energetically more favourable' reducing agent. Carbon monoxide at the same time is also an oxidizing substance.
Why hydrogen diffuses faster than other gas?
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely related to the molecular weight of that gas. The lighter the gas, the faster it diffuses. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases having a molecular weight of only 2. Thus it diffuses faster than all others.
Why ink diffuses faster than honey in water?
the ink diffuses faster than water because the ink has very small particles in it and it occupies space in between the molecules of water but honey is more denser than water and its Viscosity is more than water.thats why ink diffuses faster than ink
What gas diffuses faster co or carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Why is exhaust harmful?
Some of the most harmful elements in your car's exhaust is carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and benzene. All of these elements are harmful to the body. For example, by breathing in carbon monoxide (CO), you can get carbon monoxide poisoning. This happens because CO binds to the hemoglobins in the blood faster than oxygen does. Then the blood cannot transport oxygen to the brain, organs, and other body tissues and the brain then shuts down. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a form of suffocation.
Which gas diffuse faster CO2 or sulfur dioxide why?
CO2 diffuses faster because it has a lower molecular mass.
Does carbon monoxide diffuse faster than oxygen?
Yes because the rmm of carbon monoxide is 28 while the rmm of oxygen is 32.
Does Carbon dioxide diffuse faster than sulfur dioxide?
yes :p
Does warm carbon dioxide rise faster than cold carbon dioxide?
In an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, warm carbon dioxide would rise. Since carbon dioxide is better than twice as dense as air, it would need to be really hot before it would rise.
When carbon dioxide levels elevate does the breathing become faster or slower?
It becomes faster, in order to get reed of extra carbon bi oxide.
What builds up in the blood that makes you breathe faster?
Carbon dioxide
Why does Carbon Monoxide make you sleepy?
It jacks the spaces on the red blood cells originally for oxygen Carbon Monoxide combines with hemoglobin (the stuff on the red blood cells) 500 times faster than oxygen.
How will increasing carbon dioxide around a plant make a difference in growth?
Plants absorb and feed off of carbon dioxide, so it will grow faster.
How does carbon dioxide get out of your bloodstream?
It is gas exchange in the alveoli that gets the carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the blood and the oxygen (O2) in. What is actually going on is that the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood is greater than that of the CO2 in the air. The CO2 will diffuse out of the blood into the air, driven by that difference in partial pressure. And diffusion, driven by the higher partial pressure of O2 in the air drives that oxygen in the air into the blood. A link can be found below to an animated short that explains the process.
