Carbon dioxide is a 'heavy' gas. So it falls to the earth/ground. So its concentration is highest at ground level. By this, plants absorb CO2, and in the process of photosynthesis convert CO2, into oxygen (O2) release back into the atmosphere, and the Carbon (C) component remains in the plant as biomass.
Relative molecular massex of atmospheric gases.
H2O = 18
N2 = 28
O2 = 32
CO2 = 44
So CO2 is the heaviest hence its falls to the ground.
What else can I help you with?
What gas in the air would increase if a large trees were cut down?
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air would increase if large trees were cut down. Trees help to absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, so removing them would result in less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide would turn limewater milky white due to the formation of calcium carbonate when it reacts with the calcium hydroxide present in the limewater.
What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?
Adding one carbon and two oxygen atoms would result in one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2).
How much carbonic acid is in sprite?
Sprite contains carbonated water, which is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid. The level of carbonic acid in Sprite would depend on how much carbon dioxide was used during the carbonation process, but it is typically a relatively low concentration.
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.
Which gas would be found in the highest concentration in your blood?
Carbon dioxide
Where would a boat produce the highest concentration of carbon monoxide?
A boat produces the highest concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust system.
Where would the boat produce the highest concentration of carbon monoxide?
A boat produces the highest concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust system.
Where would a vessel produce the highest concentration of carbon monoxide?
A vessel would produce the highest concentration of Carbon Monoxide near the engine and exhaust outlets.
Atmosohere and water which has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide?
Atmosphere has the higher concentration of carbon dioxide. If water had a high concentration of carbon dioxide then water would be acidic because it would result the formation of carbonic acid, but water is neutral. The fact that dissolved carbon dioxide create carbonic acid is used in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. So I think it is the atmosphere.
In test tube has snail a plant in b and both in c which has highest concentration of Carbon dioxide?
assuming the plant is alive: B, the plant tube, would have the least CO2 (carbon dioxide) because the plant would use it in photosynthesis. C, with both snail and plant, would have a medium or normal amount of CO2. The snail would use oxygen and produce CO2 as it breathed. The plant would be doing the opposite (using CO2, and producing oxygen) Therefore, A, with only the snail, would obviously have the highest concentration of CO2. With no plant to use any, the concentration would build, and if it was a sealed test tube, the snail would eventually use up all the oxygen in the air and die of asphyxiation.
Would you expect that the concentration of carbon dioxide over an industrial site will be higher or lower?
The concentration of carbon dioxide over an industrial site might be higher, because of the emissions, however, carbon dioxide mixes well with other gases, so it will spread out all over the world.
What gas in the air would increase if a large trees were cut down?
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air would increase if large trees were cut down. Trees help to absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, so removing them would result in less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere.
Why happens to rabbits when carbon dioxide is increased?
If you mean adding carbon dioxide to a rabbit's local environment, they would likely asphyxiate when the concentration of CO2 passed a certain level.
What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis if the concentration of carbon dioxide decreased?
Rate is often proportional to the concentration of the reactants. If the carbon dioxide were less concentrated we should expect the rate to decrease, other factors being equal.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Take three test tubes. Fill ¾th of each with water. Label them A, B and C. Keep a snail in test tube A, a water plant in test tubes B and C, and keep the snail and plant both. Which test tube would have the highest concentration of CO2?
Living organisms release C O 2 during respiration and take in oxygen whereas plants utilize C O 2 and give out oxygen during photosynthesis. So, the test tube A will have the highest concentration of carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is released by the snail through respiration. In test tubes, B and C, a part of the carbon dioxide is utilized by the plant for photosynthesis and hence there will be less concentration of carbon dioxide.
