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.

What physical property of carbon dioxide allows gas to be collected?

The physical property of carbon dioxide that allows gas to be collected is its higher density compared to air. This causes carbon dioxide to sink and accumulate in a container when released, allowing for easy collection.

What gas is collected when a uninflated balloon is placed round a test tube of yeast?

Carbon dioxide gas is collected when a uninflated balloon is placed around a test tube of yeast. This is because the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct of the fermentation process.


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.

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.

How is carbon dioxide separated from fizzy drinks?

Carbon dioxide is separated from fizzy drinks by a process called de-gassing or de-carbonating. This is done by increasing the pressure in the container holding the drink, which helps release the carbon dioxide gas from the liquid. The gas is then collected and removed, leaving behind the non-carbonated drink.


Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.


When is heart-lung transplantation required?

when blood ventilation (air exchange) is inhibited. Inhibited oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer prevents the delivery of oxygen to the tissue and results in carbon dioxide levels in the blood that are higher than normal.
