According to Wikipedia:

  • In the liquid phase:
  • The density of liquid water is 1,000 kg/m3 at 1 atm and 4 °C.
  • The density of liquid CO2 is 770 kg/m3 at 56 atm and 20 °C.
  • In the solid phase
  • The density of solid water is 917 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −10 °C.
  • The density of solid CO2 is 1,562 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −78.5 °C.

So, liquid water is more dense than liquid CO2; solid CO2 is more dense than solid water; and solid CO2 is more dense than liquid water - which is why dry ice chunks sink to the bottom of a bowl of water.

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.

Is carbon dioxide lighter than water?

Coal can be heavier or lighter than water depending on its type. Most types of coal are heavier than water in terms of density, however, broken bituminous coal has only a density of 0.833 kg/m3, so it is lighter than water.


Is water or carbon dioxide denser?

At room temperature and pressure, water is more dense than CO2. If CO2 is cooled and compressed to a liquid, it is more dense than water.


Does carbon dioxide have a higher bond order than water?

yes.


In a solution of carbon dioxide in water a soft drink the carbon dioxide is the solute?

Yes, in a solution of carbon dioxide in water, the carbon dioxide gas is the solute and the water is the solvent. The carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form a homogenous mixture, giving the drink its fizziness.


Does carbonation have anything to do with temperature?

The dissolution of carbon dioxide in water is higher at low temperature.


Does carbon dioxide have solubility?

Yes, carbon dioxide is soluble in water and other liquids. The solubility of carbon dioxide depends on factors such as temperature and pressure, with higher pressures and lower temperatures generally leading to higher solubility.


Which gas is contained in the soda water?

Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is mainly produced by the decomposition of pressurized carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide.


Why does a balloon with CO2 sink?

Because the density of carbon dioxide is the double of the density of water (1,977 g/cm3) at 1 atm and O 0C.


Is carbon dioxide the solvent in cabonated water?

No, water is, carbon dioxide is the solute
