Can you do anything to help balance the Carbon Cycle?
Promoting a shift from the use of fossil fuels to sustainable energies can help to balance the carbon cycle.
What can be used to help detect a carbon monoxide build upon a boat?
A carbon monoxide detector.
If you combine lead oxide and carbon together what do you get?
You get Lead and Carbon dioxide. Of course, you have to heat them. no idk help me :0
Does deconstructive forces such as erosion help build up the Earth's surface?
Yes, erosion in one area can help build up the earth's surface in another area.
Incomplete combustion of ethanol?
In the complete combustion of methane gas you produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas. In the incomplete combustion of methane you can produce solid carbon with water or other carbon containing products along with water. Hopefully this gives you some help.
What can help detect a carbon monoxide buildup?
A carbon monoxide detector.
Can help detect a carbon monoxide build up?
In the modern day, a carbon monoxide detector. The earliest detectors were certain species of birds (e.g. canaries) that were known to be susceptible to toxic gases.
What is carbon monoxide cycle?
Carbon monoxide is first produced by either human activities involving combustion or a variety of natural processes. From there on, it reacts with oxygen/hydrogen radicals in the atmosphere and become carbon dioxide. The fact that most carbon monoxide will become carbon dioxide when left in the atmosphere long enough can help explain why the carbon monoxide cycle is not taught in school.
Vehicle emissions devices incorporate a chemical reaction to help control carbon monoxide pollution What effect does adding a catalyst have for this reaction?
It produces more carbon monoxide.
Lung and gills help animals take in?
Lungs and gills help animals breathe by taking in oxygen and than releasing carbon monoxide.
What can help detect a carbon dioxide buildup?
A modern battery-operated carbon dioxide/monoxide detector is the best way to detect a gas build-up. Historical note: A caged canary used to be taken down coal mines. If the canary collapsed, there was carbon dioxide present at a dangerous level to the coal miners.
What has new technology yielded?
it can help scientists detect movement and the build up of pressure along a fault.
How can solar energy hep to become carbon neutral?
By increasing the use of solar energy, we can reduce the use of oil, gas, and/or coal, thereby reducing the production and release of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. That could help us to become carbon neutral.
What is a good way to prevent accidental carbon monoxide poisoning on a boat?
One way is to make sure you have adequate ventilation while the motor is running and use your bilge blower should help too.They do make Carbon Monoxide detecters for house's you can use on boats. They're about the same size as a smoke detector.
If you have inhaled CO how do you recover?
Either breathe it out and/or breathe some oxygen in by moving to an area of fresh air. This is the only way to rid it from your respiratory system, though prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide will cause permanent damage to the brain, from which there is no recovery. If carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected, seek medical help. There is no treatment that can be administered at home.
How has the community responded to rising sea levels?
Removing catalytic converter's and untuning there vehicles so more carbon monoxide is created.
Will an increase in carboxyhemoglobin cause oxygen content to increase?
No. In fact, the exact opposite occurs. Hemoglobin is the Oxygen carrying molecule in red blood cells. It binds to Oxygen in the lungs, and releases it to all the tissues in your body. Carboxyhemoglobin is a hemoglobin molecule that has bound to Carbon Monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a molecule that typically results from fires. The most common exposures are engine exhaust and tobacco smoke. The bond between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin is much stronger than that of oxygen and hemoglobin. Therefore, a slow exposure to exhaust fumes will slowly build up the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin, and the result can be extremely dangerous, including death. Since a hemoglobin molecule that is bound to carbon monoxide cannot be used to deliver oxygen, the oxygen levels in your body will decrease. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure are headaches, dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness. If you find someone who has any of these symptoms when exposed to car exhaust fumes, you must call 911 immediately. Open the garage, and move them to a well-ventilated area while you wait for help to arrive.
