Carbon dioxide is a toxic gas with the formula CO2, showing that each molecule contains 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.
It often forms from the combustion of carbon or carbon compounds or from acid-base or decomposition reactions involving carbonates.
It is mildly acidic, forming small amounts of carbonic acid (H2CO3) when it reacts with water.
Some scientists are concerned that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere are causing worldwide temperatures to increase.
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxcide a molecule or an atom?
Carbon dioxide is a compound; therefore, its smallest unit is a molecule.
What process gives of carbon dioxcide?
The process that gives off carbon dioxide is respiration. During respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of breaking down glucose to produce energy.
What are the two most important forces in chemical weathering?
The two most important forces in chemical weathering are water and carbon dioxide. Water facilitates chemical reactions that break down minerals in rocks, while carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which further aids in weathering processes.
Why should burning fuels always be given plenty of air?
Burning fuels require oxygen to undergo the combustion process and produce heat. Providing sufficient air ensures complete combustion, which maximizes energy output and reduces the formation of harmful byproducts such as carbon monoxide. Insufficient air supply can lead to inefficient combustion, incomplete fuel utilization, and increased emission of pollutants.
What is the difference between a carbon source and a carbon sink in the context of the carbon cycle?
In the carbon cycle, a carbon source releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink absorbs and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Is carbon dioxcide a mixture or compound?
It is a compound.
What are bad gases in smog?
carbon dioxcide(co2)
How do you make a co2 car go far?
you make it light weight and you have to hit the carbon dioxcide cartridgeyou make it light weight and you have to hit the carbon dioxcide cartridge
How much carbon dioxide does the Olympic torch emit?
5500 tons of carbon dioxcide
What gas might make your planet warmer?
carbon dioxcide
Two examples of gas?
1. carbon dioxcide 2. heilium
What is it called when animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxcide?
respiration
How much carbon dioxside does mars contain?
95.32% of the Martian atmosphere is Carbon Dioxcide.(aka CO2)
What does the respiration do?
Respiration is the production of energy in mitochrondia inside cells. In order to respire, cells need Glucose and Oxygen. The waste products are Water and Carbon Dioxcide. Glucose + Oxygen --------- Carbon Dioxcide+ Water energy
What inorganic substances are neccessary for photosynthesis?
Water, nutriens, sunlight and carbon dioxcide
What occers during the carbon and oxygen cycle?
the best way to put is that when it is exposed to carbon dioxcide and it changes color.
Is there a chemical that reduces carbon dioxcide?
Not that I know of. I only know that trees breathe in carbon dioxide an breathe out oxygen
