CO2 is inevitably created by burning fuels like e.g. oil, natural gas, diesel, organic-diesel, petrol, organic-petrol, ethanol. The emissions of CO2 have been dramatically increased within the last 50 years and are still increasing by almost 3% each year, see graph below:

Will CO2 be more or less soluble in water 100 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Celsius?

As temperature increases, the ability for water to absorb CO2 decreases. That is why we see higher CO2 when temperature rises in our atmosphere.


Why does the presence of CO2 lead to a decrease in pH levels?

The presence of CO2 leads to a decrease in pH levels because when CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water, making it more acidic.


What greenhouse gas is harmful when its concentration increases in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a harmful greenhouse gas when its concentration increases in the atmosphere. This increase is primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to global warming and climate change.


What causes the seasonal changes in CO2 concentration?

Seasonal changes in CO2 concentration are primarily caused by the natural cycle of plant growth and decay. During the spring and summer months, plants absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, reducing the concentration in the atmosphere. In the fall and winter, when plants go dormant and decay, CO2 is released back into the atmosphere, leading to an increase in concentration.


Why is more CO2 dissolving in the cold water of the Arctic than in the oceans that are warmer?

Cold water can hold more CO2 than warm water due to its higher density and lower temperature, which increases the solubility of gases. In addition, the Arctic waters have lower biological activity and therefore less organic matter that could consume CO2, allowing more of it to remain dissolved in the water column.

What is the respiratory mechanism of pH control?

The respiratory system helps control the acidity of the blood by regulating the elimination of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O).These molecules are exhaled with every breath.H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2(carbonic acid)The brain is sensitive to blood CO2 levels and pH.A significant increase in CO2 or decrease below pH 7.38 of arterial blood- causes breathing to increase (in rate and depth)- results in hyperventilation- more CO2 is exhaled- eliminates CO2 - reduces H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- increases pH back to normalA significant decrease in CO2 or increase in pH- causes breathing to decrease- results in hypoventilation- less CO2 is exhaled- increases CO2 - increases H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- decreases pH back to normalRespiratory mechanism (depth and rate of breathing) controls CO2CO2 in solution is an acid.Partial Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) levels in Arterial Blood Gas (ABG).Higher PaCO2 causes acidosis (lower pH), or neutralizes alkalosis.Lower PaCO2 causes alkalosis (raises pH.), or neutralizes acidosis.


Factors affecting dissolution of CO2 in water?

Factors affecting dissolution of CO2 in water include temperature (lower temperature increases solubility), pressure (higher pressure increases solubility), surface area (larger surface area increases contact between CO2 and water), and agitation (stirring or mixing helps CO2 dissolve faster).


Is CO2 destroying the ozone?

Carbon dioxide is denoted by CO2. It causes global warming. Global warming then causes ozone depletion.

What happens to water vapor concentration when carbon dioxide increases?

Carbon dioxide increases are bad to your planet because?

Plants love CO2. No evidence for any bad effects from the really small increases in CO2, in spite of what the news media and politicians would lead one to believe.
