We breathe very tiny amounts of it all the time. We cannot breathe much, however, because to do so interferes with the system that regulates our breathing.

A balloon is filled with pure carbon dioxide. Which term or terms could be used to describe the contents of this balloon?

Its a compound and a pure chemical substance


Can a blimp be filled with carbon dioxide?

It is not common to fill blimps with carbon dioxide because it is not as buoyant as helium, which is the most common gas used to fill blimps. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and could affect the lift and stability of the blimp. Additionally, carbon dioxide is flammable and can be dangerous if not handled properly.


If you could break up carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?

No, breaking up a carbon dioxide molecule would result in the formation of separate carbon and oxygen atoms or molecules, depending on the method used. Breaking the bonds of the carbon dioxide molecule would disrupt its structure and composition, resulting in different chemical species than the original carbon dioxide molecule.


How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in carbon dioxide comes from sugar or oxygen gas?

You could use a radioactive isotope like carbon-14 to label the sugars during photosynthesis. By tracking the movement of carbon-14 in the carbon dioxide, you can determine if the oxygen in the carbon dioxide comes from sugar or oxygen gas. If the oxygen in the carbon dioxide comes from sugar, the carbon-14 label will also be seen in the oxygen.


Is carbon dioxide useful and why?

yes. plants breath in carbon dioxide and then breath out oxygen for other living creatures. then we breath in that oxygen and breath out more carbon dioxide for the plants. basically, we could not survive without plants.

What is the modern word for fixed air?

carbon dioxide. (experiment by: Jason Priestly) He put a mouse in a jar, the mouse couldn't breathe. Then he put a plant in the same jar as the mouse, and the mouse could breathe!


Why do whales have blood that can hold a lot of carbon dioxide?

well they take a huge breathe, then hang out under water for a while. Carbon dioxide is what Mammals breathe out after taking in oxygen. hence if they could not hold alot of carbon dioxide... they would probably die.


Can carbon dioxide kill you?

it could, but it's not easy. high CO2 will produce acidosis (which will increase respiration and lower CO2) But if the CO2 gets VERY high, it will displace O2 and asphixiate you.


How is the air you breathe in and the air you breathe out different?

The air you breathe out has different amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and a few other substances in it than the air you breathed in. Your lungs absorb a lot of the oxygen, for example, which is then carried by red blood cells to your heart and muscles. Your body also produces carbon dioxide as a kind of waste product which is in the air you breathe out. So the air you breathe out has less oxygen but more carbon dioxide than the air you breathed in did. There are also other smaller changes that you could look up.


Could carbon be called carbon dioxide?

No. Carbon dioxide contains oxygen as well as carbon.


Should plants breath in oxygen or carbon dioxide at night?

Plants take in carbon dioxide during the day and release oxygen through photosynthesis. At night, plants do not photosynthesize and instead undergo respiration, where they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.


The exchange of gases for the purpose of producing energy is called what?

You inhale (breathe in) oxygen, and exhale (breathe out) carbon dioxide. I could use some help i finding out what the exchange is called! <><><> Try Respiration.


Why doesn't hydrogen produce carbon dioxide?

How could it? There is no carbon in hydrogen. It order to make carbon dioxide, you must have carbon and oxygen.


That people could survive without gasseswhy or why not?

No. People, plants and animals need gasses to live- oxygen and carbon dioxide.


Why could you say that the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle is balance?

because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide


Why could you say that the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle is balance?

because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide


What could happen to carbon dioxide if water temperatures rise?

Carbon dioxide is released from water at high temperature.
