Why do emergency rafts aboard cruise ships have canisters of liquid carbon dioxide?

Emergency rafts aboard cruise ships are equipped with canisters of liquid carbon dioxide because the cans can be opened to inflate the raft very quickly. This is because opening the can will decrease the pressure and the CO2(l) will instantly become a gas.

What has carbon dioxide in it?
Air. Beer. Champagne. Soda pop. Fully charged CO2 canisters. Dry ice contains a lot of carbon dioxide. Human lungs have some, and mining pits deep inside mountains serve as natural traps and reservoirs of this heavy gas.
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.
How heavy is carbon dioxide?
You can purchase dry ice (frozen CO2) from your local grocer for about $1.50 per pound. Canisters of the compressed gas range in price, depending on the application. CO2 cartridges for air rifles may cost 50 cents each. Soda machine CO2 canisters have a wide range in price, as do the big compressed air bottles used by heavy industry.
How do astronauts get rid of CO2?
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by Lithium hydroxide canisters that are changed periodically in the space shuttles!
Cant you just compress lots of CO2 into canisters then put them in outer space to reduce global warming?
The power needed for compression, the construction of the canisters and rockets, and the transportation to the launch sites would createmore carbon dioxide than was removed.
Why don't you suffocate in a submarine?
Submarines have air systems aboard that add oxygen (O2) and remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere aboard. This keeps the crew from suffocating.

How do you extract carbon dioxide from air?
The only way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air is by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide and stores it in the trees and vegetation.There are several routes for carbon dioxide removal, In Nature:Plants use carbon dioxide for the process of manufacturing foodCarbon dioxide dissolves in alkaline sea water.Industrially carbon dioxide may be removed by:distillation of airchemical combination with materials such as NaOHA carbon dioxide scrubber, lithium hydroxide (Apollo 13) is used aboard spacecraft to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere2 LiOH(s) + 2 H2O(g) → 2 LiOH.H2O(s)2 LiOH.H2O(s) + CO2(g) → Li2CO3(s) + 3 H2O(g)
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide.
How do astronauts get rid of carbon dioxide?
Removed from where? If you mean the body (as you have put this in biology) the co2 is a product of respiration and is released through the mouth when you breathe out. However this question is far too vague; you could mean the atmosphere or anything...
