CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is more dense than air and therefore would sink to the floor.

Can a blimp filled with carbon dioxide float?

It can, if you fill the balloon with air and let it float on the carbon dioxide. We used to do this with soap bubbles to illustrate certain effects of surface tension (for example, the fact that bubbles of the same size form a planar interface, but the interface between bubbles of different sizes bulges towards the larger bubble, proving the pressure in the smaller one is higher... it's much easier to see this when the bubble isn't actively falling towards the floor as you're trying to observe it). Put a piece of dry ice in the bottom of a large bath jar, and allow the bubbles to float on the denser carbon dioxide layer in the jar. Filling a balloon with carbon dioxide, though, will not cause it to float, as carbon dioxide is denser than air.


Will carbon tetrachlochide sink in sulfuric acid?

No, carbon tetrachloride is less dense than sulfuric acid, so it will float on top of the acid rather than sinking.


Will Carbon tectrachloride will sink in sulfuric acid?

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is less dense than sulfuric acid, so it will float on top of the sulfuric acid rather than sink into it.


A balloon filled with air is released in a room filled with carbon dioxide will the balloon float to the ceiling or sink to the floor?

The balloon filled with air will float to the ceiling in a room filled with carbon dioxide. This is because the density of carbon dioxide is greater than the density of air. The balloon will experience a buoyant force upwards due to the density difference, causing it to rise towards the ceiling.


Will carbon tetrachloride sink in sulfuric acid?

yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid

What are facts about the Portuguese Man of War?

The Portuguese Man-o-War is not a single animal. Instead it has different animals working together. The parts are: float, tentacles, reproductive sytems, and mouth. The float is filled with carbon monoxide.


Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?

No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.


How do rasins float?

they float by the carbon dioxide and the hydrogyn dioxide in the soda


Can carbon dioxide float into the air?

Yes.


Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?

Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.


Is carbon tetrachloride CCl4 float on water?

No, carbon tetrachloride does not float on water because it is immiscible with, and heavier than water, and forms a lower layer.


How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?

You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.


Can carbon float in water?

No, pure carbon (in the form of graphite or diamond) is denser than water, so it sinks in water. However, carbon can float if it is in the form of a lightweight structure like graphene aerogel.


How can you use the density of an object to predict weather it will sink or float?

if the density of the object was higher than 1 then it will sink if less than 1 it will float in water....


Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?

No, volume alone cannot predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object compared to the density of the surrounding fluid is a determining factor - objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while those with a density less than the fluid will float.


Why is it easier to float in baking soda and vinegar water?

The bubbles from the carbon dioxide reaction help you float


How is it possible to predict if an object will sink or float based on density of the object?

If an object is less dense then water, it will float assuming the object does not absorb the water there by increasing its density.
