Best Answer

Ninety-nine percent of the atmosphere is already filled with nitrogen and oxygen, and carbon dioxide makes up less that 1% of the rest. So it will take a long time for the air to fill up with carbon dioxide.

What test can you carry out to show that carbon dioxide is denser than air?

One of my favorites is to get a big bath jar and put dry ice in the bottom. Cover it (loosely) to keep air from stirring it up and let some of the dry ice evaporate. IF carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the carbon dioxide will fill the bottom of the bath, and you can float a soap bubble filled with ordinary air on the heavier carbon dioxide layer. Try it and see.You could also construct an apparatus with candles at various heights and connect it with tubing to a carbon dioxide source (such as a compressed gas cylinder). As the carbon dioxide enters the tank with the candles, it should fill up the tank in such a way that the lowest candles are extinguished first.
