What makes CO2?

Answer 1

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is made whenever a carbon based item or lifeform burns (is oxygenated). It is also made whenever a hydrocarbon is degraded into water and carbon dioxide. CO2 generation is a natural process. Some examples include:

Converting sugar to energy, in almost all living matter. (Reverse of photosynthesis)

Burning fuels.

Adding vinegar to baking soda.

Alternate answer:

Most of the world's CO2 is made by rotting or decaying organic matter.

Answer 2

You should put a glass in a pan, put two tablespoons of baking soda in the glass, and add 1/3 of a cup vinegar in the glass. You should put the pan since the bubbling mixture is going to bubble out of your glass.

Have fun!

Answer 3

CO2 is formed of of 2 oxygen atoms and 1 carbon atom and is more commonly known as Carbon Dioxide. It comes from many sources including, but not limited to:

• Burning of fuels
• Respiration - the process by which all living organisms, including plants, get energy from carbohydrates, lipids etc. Therefore, we breathe out CO2.

Answer 4

burning something, for example glucose.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O

With almost every burning of C (with enough oxigen around), CO2 will be created.

(with to little O2 around, you could get CO instead of CO2).

In your body the burning of glucose works a bit different.

Answer 5

Carbon Dioxide is made of 1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms...:)

Answer 6

Most CO2 is produced through rotting vegetation or other natural processes.

Man produces CO2 through the burning of fuels.

Answer 7

Each CO2 molecule is made up of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

Answer 8

One molecule of CO2 is comprised of one atom of carbon and two oxygen.
Carbon and oxeygen. I atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

Answer 9

Carbon di oxide can be made by using hydrochloric acid and marbles.

Answer 10

By the trees breathing. lol the leaves take in CO2 and release O2. Also burning of fossil fuels etc..
