How much carbon dioxide is given out from different flavors of ice cream?
One
How do you measure a wildfire?
The typical way that a wildfire is measured is through determining how much land it has burned. The measurement is given in acres and will typically will also include how much land is actively burning.
Which process brings carbon into the living portion of its cycle?
The Carbon - Oxygen Cycle Note: The carbon and oxygen cycles are independent but very closely related. The two cycles have been combined in the assignment below. Some of the information that you find on the carbon cycle will not contain information on the oxygen cycle. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in by plants to be used in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon based compounds are produced from this CO2 and the water (H2O) that is absorbed by the roots of the plant. Plants give off oxygen (O2) as a waste product of photosynthesis. When animals consume plants or other animals they take in the carbon based compounds. Animals inhale the O2 given off by plants and exhale CO2, a waste product of cellular respiration. Plants also take in CO2 and release O2 during the process of cellular respiration. The activities described above are just a part of the interactions which take place in the carbon - oxygen cycle
What is a major source of oxygen for the earth's atmosphere?
Trees and plant life.carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and regenerated into oxygen then given off again
How do you calculate the mass of carbon removed from the atmosphere every year?
Is this in 'The Science Lab' end of topic sheet? If yes (and usually in any work anyways), use the diagram that is given above and add up all the absorption of Carbon. If it is question 3b(i) you are talking about, the answer should be 204 Billion Tonnes.
What is present in the smoke and fumes given off when fossil fuels are burned?
carbon dioxcide :)
What other name is given to carbon based fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What gas released when fossil fuels are burned is also given off when biomass is burned?
That would be carbon dioxide (CO2).The amount of carbon compounds (like CO2) that the creation or use of a given fuel source releases into the environment is known as its carbon footprint.
How could an increase of burned fuels in the atmosphere raise Earth's temperature?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which absorbs warmth given off from the earth. An increase of burned fuels means that more and more CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature is rising.
Most air pollution is a result of?
Carbon dioxide being given off when we burn fossil fuels.
What gas is given off when coal burns?
Carbon dioxide is the gas given off. Oil also gives off the same gas when burned.
What gases and given out when fossil fuels are burnt?
Gasses produced from fossil fuels are many, such as what was known as coal gas (acetylene), CO2, CO, and many others that are formed with impurities found in fossil fuels as sulphur which can produces several toxic gasses within itself.
When you burn fossil fuels what gas is given off?
The main gases given off when you burn fossil fuels, such as coil, oil and natural gas, are carbon dioxide and water vapour. Both are greenhouse gases, but the water vapour quickly falls out of the atmosphere.
How is carbon dioxide given off when wax is burned?
wax is a hydocarbon( a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon only).all hydrocarbons give carbon-dioxide and oxygen on combustion cxHy + O2 ---> CO2 + H2
What is adding to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today?
Given in no particular order:burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)forest firesvolcanic eruptions
Why is carbon monoxide emitted by a car exhaust?
Carbon dioxide is one element given off after burning of fuels(hydr-carbons) in an oxygen atmosphere. The buring inside the piston of a car's engine does not completely burn all the carbon so carbon monoxide is produced in addition to carbon dioxide.
Why should burning fuels always be given plenty of air?
Carbon + the oxygen in the air = carbon dioxcide. I would say you should have a fresh suply of air so the fire doesn't go out or you don't smother youself.
