Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide and use the carbon to build their structures. They then release the oxygen into the atmosphere. The same is true with many plankton. Carbon dioxide is also frozen to produce "dry ice", and pumped into fire extinguishers to put out fires. Carbon dioxide is also forced into water, producing carbonic acid... that's the fizzy stuff that makes soft drinks bubble and makes you burp.
Carbon dioxide is used in life jackets which often contain carbon dioxide for quick inflation. High concentrations can also be used to kill pests, such as the common moth. Leavening agents produce carbon dioxide to cause dough to rise, it is used in some fire extinguishes especially those designed for electrical fires. Plants require it to conduct photosynthesis and green houses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth.
The frozen form of carbon dioxide, dry ice, can be mixed with hot water to make a white mist that is used in theatres as steam or fog.
What else can I help you with?
What do you use carbon dioxide?
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
When fossil fuels burn, oxygen is used as the gas that reacts with the carbon in the fuel to produce carbon dioxide. This process is known as combustion and is the reason why carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
What takes in carbon dioxide?
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are known to take in carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. In this biological process, carbon dioxide is used by these organisms to produce energy and organic compounds.
Which is a compound oxygen helium carbon dioxide nitrogen?
Carbon dioxide is a compound consisting of carbon and oxygen.
What principle is used to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that is absorbed by the land?
The principle used to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by land is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into carbohydrates while releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What are the uses of carbon dioxide dioxide?
The following r the uses of carbon dioxide:- 1) carbon dioxide is used to produce aerated cold beverages. 2) carbon dioxide is used to produce dry ice. 3) carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fires. 4) carbon dioxide is used to make washing soda. 5) carbon dioxide is used to produce sodium bicarb(baking powder). 6) plants make their own food by using carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide a fuel?
Carbon dioxide cannot be used as an ordinary fuel as it is a product of the combustion of carbon.
Does carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide have a benefit?
For the applications of carbon monoxide see the link below. Carbon Dioxide is taken in by green plants and used to make Oxygen that we breathe. Carbon Dioxide is used to make 'Carbonated' beverages. Carbon Dioxide is used in many industrial applications, such as welding. Carbon Dioxide is used to make Dry Ice. Carbon Dioxide is used in Fire Extinguishers.
What is Carbon dioxide - bicarbonate system?
Co2 is carbon dioxide that is used for paintball guns
Which compound is used to remove carbon dioxide from air?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is commonly used to remove carbon dioxide from air. When sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, it forms sodium carbonate and water, effectively removing the carbon dioxide from the air.
What goes into carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a compound of Carbon and Oxygen - CO2
What is carbon dixiode used for?
Carbon dioxide is used for a great many things in the world. Plants for example need carbon dioxide in order to breathe.
What are 3 household uses for carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide, is often used for refrideration and cooling.
What type of solvent is carbon dioxide?
Liquid carbon dioxide (supercritical CO2) is used as solvent.
Why only carbon dioxide is used in aerated drinks?
There are more things, except for carbon dioxide!
What is a example of a solvent in carbon dioxide?
Liquid carbon dioxide (supercritical CO2) is used as solvent.
What substances absorb CARBON DIOXIDE?
Potassium Hydroxide can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
