What dissolves carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

The only way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air is by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide and stores it in the trees and vegetation.

There are several routes for carbon dioxide removal, In Nature:

• Plants use carbon dioxide for the process of manufacturing food
• Carbon dioxide dissolves in alkaline sea water.

Industrially carbon dioxide may be removed by:

• distillation of air
• chemical combination with materials such as NaOH

A carbon dioxide scrubber, lithium hydroxide (Apollo 13) is used aboard spacecraft to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

2 LiOH(s) + 2 H2O(g) → 2 LiOH.H2O(s)

2 LiOH.H2O(s) + CO2(g) → Li2CO3(s) + 3 H2O(g)

Answer 2

Water is the most common "solvent" for carbon dioxide. That's how you get carbonated drinks like Coke or Sprite.

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere also dissolves into the surface water, like lakes and the ocean.

Answer 3

Carbon dioxide can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid, which can lower the pH of the water. It can also dissolve in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Additionally, carbon dioxide can dissolve in some metals like magnesium to form metal carbonates.

Answer 4

CO2 tanks contain liquid CO2. Preasure is all that is required. At standard atmosphic preasure CO2 can only be solid or gas.

Answer 5

The only way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air is by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide and stores it in the trees and vegetation.
