You can test it with the Lime Water test. If there is carbon dioxide in your breath then the Lime Water should turn cloudy.

Where is the carbon dioxide in the heart?

It doesn't. That job belongs to the lungs. huh? but I've search it here in the answers


How would Earth's atmosphere change if plants stop carrying out photosynthesis?

Plants utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) to perform photosynthesis. This is fortunate, because all living things produce CO2 as a byproduct of respiration and oxidation. If the plants didn't absorb it, it would build up in the atmosphere to dangerous levels, and life as we know would cease to exist.


What is the planet Earth made up of?

The Earth is made up of gases such as carbon dioxide,air,oxygen,gravity,water and much more.They all came out of Attoms from stars that exploded which is called a "supernova"(WE ARE MADE OUT OF ATOMS"


Why is gasoline important?

Electric vehicles are more important, and better for our planet. Just think about it, whenever you pump gas into your car/s, you are inadvertently funding terrorism. The Gas companies (BP, EXXON, to name a few) don't want you changing to an electric car. Why? Because their profits (billions of dollars) would stop. To sum it up, gasoline was never important. Yeah, it made our cars, generators, and other appliances work, but at the same time, every gallon of gas we drove off, created 20 pounds of Carbon Dioxide. You DO know that Carbon Dioxide is poisonous, right? Imagine what that does to our planet, the wildlife, and us. You. Everyone. Gasoline sucks. The faster we get off of our dependency, the better.


How was oxygen introduced into Earth's atmosphere?

Oxygen was not necessarilly "introduced" to the Earth. Many people have a hard time understanding that the ozone layer that surrounds the Earth is not "holding in" our breathable atmosphere. Air is our atmosphere. Air has "weight", believe it or not. The Earth has "gravity". Air acts much like water in that respect, atmosphere will be "pulled" to the Earth by gravity. It is believed that the chemical reactions on the Earth, like magma from volcanoes, has created a lot of carbon dioxide. Thus life forms as plants grew. As we all know, plants live on carbon dioxide and it grew and encouraged growth of other life forms. Other life forms produced more chemical reactions and by-products such as carbon dioxide, and nitrogen when the life form died and decomposed. Thus creating our atmosphere. There is also the concept that the Big Bang scattered the components necessary for the planets in the system and that the Earth "accumulated" it while revolving aroudn the Sun. This is very plausible considering there is a lot of ice in outer space and when it impacts a surface, like the Earth, the ice melts and creates water, which is made of hydrogen and oxygen. Remember also that life "came from the pre-historic oceans as we know it". So, long story short, oxygen was not necessarilly "introduced" to the Earth as much as it was "produced" also.

How much atoms of carbon and of oxygen are in each molecule of carbon dioxide?

The name "carbon dioxide" tells you what it is made of and how many atoms are involved, as long as you know that "di" is one of the syllables that means "two." So one molecule of carbon dioxide has one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.


What does exhaled air contain more of than inhaled air?

How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?

Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.
