Carbon dioxide (CO2) is collected by downwards delivery because it is heavier than air. Almost all of our atmosphere is nitrogen (molecular mass = 28) and oxygen (molecular mass = 32), but CO2 has a molecular mass of 40.

∙ 13y agoYou can't collect carbon dioxide using this method because it is denser than air.
Here are some tips:
· All gases can be collected using a gas syringe.
· If a gas is less dense than air it can be collected by upward delivery.
· If a gas is denser than air it can be collected using downward delivery.
· If a gas is not soluble (or only slightly soluble) in water, it can be collected over water.

When 84G of magnesium carbonate was heated 40G of magnesium oxide was collected why did the mas go down?
MgCO3 ---> MgO + CO2. Carbon dioxide is the byproduct and the lost mass corresponds to the weight of carbon dioxide lost.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?
Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What is the opposite of carbon dioxide?
Negative carbon dioxide emission is the opposite of carbon dioxide. The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2.
Why the dry ice first time the smoke will move up aftera few mins the smoke move downwards?
because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice
What physical property of carbon dioxide allows gas to be collected?
As it is a gas, it can flow into a jar, i think .............................
Why did the dry ice smoke falls to the floor and flow downwards?
Dry ice, carbon dioxide, is more dense than air.
Carbon dioxide traps shortwave radiation and re-radiates it?
Carbon dioxide mainly has an effect on longwave radiation. It absorbs longwave radiation and re-radiates it, some of it back downwards. This means carbon dioxide increases the amount of radiation going back down to the surface, and the surface has to warm up to compensate.
Do your friends breathe out carbon dioxide?
All metabolic processes of animals produce carbon dioxide. This is collected from the cells by your blood cell and released to the atmosphere from your lungs when you breathe out.
Why does a cloud of dry ice flow downwards?
It flows downwards because it is cold and cold air sinkse. The most important reason why it flows downwards is that dry ice is made of CO2 / carbon dioxide which = 1.5 times heavier than the air that we inhale.
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
When 84G of magnesium carbonate was heated 40G of magnesium oxide was collected why did the mas go down?
MgCO3 ---> MgO + CO2. Carbon dioxide is the byproduct and the lost mass corresponds to the weight of carbon dioxide lost.
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide.
Does the lungs store urine?
No, the [urinary] bladder does. The lungs are involved in the delivery of oxygen to the body and the excretion of carbon dioxide.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What gas is exhaled from the lungs?
carbon dioxide
