Carbon trioxide gas (CO3) exists, and is an unstable oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon). Carbon trioxide can be produced, for example, in the drift zone of a negative corona discharge by reactions between carbon dioxide (CO2) and the atomic oxygen (O) created from molecular oxygen by free electrons in the plasma. The half-life of carbon trioxide is only approximately 30 minutes, before breakdown into carbon dioxide and the oxygen radical. Carbon trioxide plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and has been detected in interstellar ices.
Carbon trioxide should not be confused with the stable carbonate ion (CO32−), which is an ion in solution.

Does carbon atoms joined with oxygen make a gas called carbon trioxide?
CO3 is an unstable compound and it is only theoretical.
What is Carbon Trioxide used for if anything?
Carbon Trioxide exists as a gas, but it is highly unstable. Formed by electrical arcs in a mizture of carbon dioxide and oxygen, or by passing ozone (O3) across dry ice; CO3 breaks down into carbon dioxide and oxygen in less than sixty seconds at srandard temperature and pressure, meaning that it has little to no industrial or comercial use.
Carbon disulfide can be made by the reaction of carbon dioxide and sulfur trioxide?
does not effect equilibrum
Is calcium carbon trioxide soluble in water?
No, it is insoluble in water
Is Dinitrogen Trioxide a inorganic compound?
Yes: The compound contains no carbon.
Can carbon atoms join with oxygen to make a gas called carbon trioxide?
Carbon atoms join with oxygen to make a gas called carbon trioxide.
Is carbon dioxide always a gas?
CO3 is carbon trioxide. Carbon trioxide is an unstable gas. It is an oxide of carbon that forms from reactions between carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen.
What is the boiling point of carbon trioxide?
Carbon trioxide is not a stable chemical compound.
Does carbon atoms joined with oxygen make a gas called carbon trioxide?
CO3 is an unstable compound and it is only theoretical.
Is Co3 a base or an acid?
Carbon trioxide is an unstable oxide of carbon, and is in the form of gas. so no co3 is not an acid
Air pollution causes due to which gas of vehicle fuel?
carbon mono oxide (CO) , and sulphur trioxide (SO3)
What do you get when you combine one carbon and three oxygen?
Carbon trioxide
Is sulfur trioxide color is orange?
No, Sulfur trioxide is a colourless gas
What is Carbon Trioxide used for if anything?
Carbon Trioxide exists as a gas, but it is highly unstable. Formed by electrical arcs in a mizture of carbon dioxide and oxygen, or by passing ozone (O3) across dry ice; CO3 breaks down into carbon dioxide and oxygen in less than sixty seconds at srandard temperature and pressure, meaning that it has little to no industrial or comercial use.
What gas is increasing due to the destruction of the rain forest?
Both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is caused by breathing of animals, and carbon monoxide is caused by burning. Trees and vegetation will absorb either. Carbon trioxide is unstable and does not exist outside of laboratories.
Carbon disulfide can be made by the reaction of carbon dioxide and sulfur trioxide?
does not effect equilibrum
What are the ten gases?
Most common gas pollutants: Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Nitrogen monoxide Dinitrogen monoxide Sulfur dioxide Sulfur trioxide ChloroFluoroCarbons Methane Ammonia
