In Word 2010, to type Carbon dioxide in scientific notation, you can write it as "CO2." To represent this in scientific notation, you can write it as "2.0 x 10^1," where 10^1 represents the two oxygen atoms in CO2.

What toxic gases came out of eyjafjallajokull?

The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in 2010 released sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases can cause respiratory issues, acid rain, and have environmental impacts.


What reacts with carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. CO2 is a trace gas comprising 0.039% of the atmosphere.As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants, algae, and cyanobacteria absorb carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product. By contrast, during respiration they emit carbon dioxide, as do all other living things that depend either directly or indirectly on plants for food. Carbon dioxide is also generated as a by-product of combustion; emitted from volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers; and freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution.As of October 2010[update], carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere is at a concentration of 388 ppm by volume.[1] Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide fluctuate slightly with the change of the seasons, driven primarily by seasonal plant growth in the Northern Hemisphere. Concentrations of carbon dioxide fall during the northern spring and summer as plants consume the gas, and rise during the northern autumn and winter as plants go dormant, die and decay. Taking all this into account, the concentration of CO2 grew by about 2 ppm in 2009.[2] Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas as it transmits visible light but absorbs strongly in the infrared and near-infrared.Before the advent of human-caused release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, concentrations tended to increase with increasing global temperatures, acting as a positive feedback for changes induced by other processes such as orbital cycles.[3] There is a seasonal cycle in CO2 concentration associated primarily with the Northern Hemisphere growing season.[4]Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at pressures below 5.1 standard atmospheres (520 kPa). At 1 atmosphere (near mean sea level pressure), the gas deposits directly to a solid at temperatures below −78 °C (−108 °F; 195.1 K) and the solid sublimes directly to a gas above −78 °C. In its solid state, carbon dioxide is commonly called dry ice.CO2 is an acidic oxide: an aqueous solution turns litmus from blue to pink. It is the anhydride of carbonic acid, an acid which is unstable in aqueous solution, from which it cannot be concentrated. In organisms carbonic acid production is catalysed by the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase.CO2 + H2O H2CO3CO2 is toxic in higher concentrations: 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy.[5] Concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour.[6]


Is air is a compound a mixture an element or a pure substance?

Air is a mixture of gases (and not a compound), about 78% being nitrogen (an element) , about 21% oxygen (another element), and all other gases present in much lesser amounts. The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.039% as of 2010) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is also present in the atmosphere in varying amounts, by up to 2%. If you live in Florida in the summer rains, or in parts of England, or in the rain forest, humidity is high, and the air contains a large amount of water vapor. In dry air, as that found in desert regions, there is little water vapor in the air. This mixture is fairly homogeneous near the surface, and the only practical way to separate the individual gases is by cooling them to their condensation temperatures, which are extremely low. One of the easier gases to condense is carbon dioxide, which changes to solid form at about - 78.5 °C and is known as "dry ice." These components exist in air as separate, unreactive, and unbound entities (molecules). If air was a compound, the above mentioned gases would be chemically bonded together in some sort of fixed ratios (like H20), which they're not.


How much co2 was emitted from coal plants in 2010?

A power plant burning coal will emit almost 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of coal burned. Coal fired power plants are found all around the world. Data will be examined for US power plants. There are 492 coal-fired power plants in the U.S., with an average size of 667 megawatts (MW). The 2009 USEPA estimate of CO2 emissions is 1,329 lbs CO2 per megawatt-hour. This puts the total CO2 emission at about 1,900 million metric tonnes of CO2 a year.

Carboniferous plus time scale plus 2010?

there is no word called carboniferous carbon is an element that has a grayish blackish color. its most common molecule is carbon dioxide. if you add that to the time scale, the carbon dioxide will add up in the atmosphere that we live in. ifyou add 2010 then you havethe amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the year 2010... which is alot. and people are tryingto reduce carbon emissions.


What happened to the amount of carbon dioxide from 1880 to 2010?

How much co2 does Eyjafjallajokull spit out?

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland released an estimated 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide per day during its eruption in 2010. However, volcanic eruptions are known to release a combination of gases, including sulfur dioxide and water vapor, in addition to carbon dioxide.


What puts the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere--respiration or fuel burning?

Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in 2010 put over 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Respiration (breathing) depends on activity. A person sleeping emits about 0.3 cubic metres an hour, however, with strenuous activity this rises to between 7 and 8 cm/h.The difference between them, of course, is that carbon dioxide from respiration is part of the natural carbon cycle, and is removed regularly from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide from fuel burning is additional carbon dioxide that has been underground for millions of years, so releasing it now is causing global warming and climate change.

Why are carbon dioxide levels decreasing?

Carbon dioxide levels are not decreasing in the atmosphere, in fact, they are increasing. In 1960 levels were 316 ppm. In 1970 levels were 325 ppm. In 1980 levels were 338 ppm. In 1990 levels were 353 ppm. In 2000 levels were 369 ppm. In 2010 levels were 388 ppm. Jan of 2012 levels were 393.09 ppm. As of today we are at 393.68 ppm at Manua Loa.
