The main natural process extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is photosynthesis which occurs in green plants in sunlight. Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants use the energy from light to combine water and carbon dioxide in the presence of the green chemical chlorophyll to form carbohydrates like sucrose (cane sugar).

Why does carbon dioxide act as a buffer in seawater?

The oceans play an important role in regulating the amount of CO 2 in the atmosphere because CO 2 can move quickly into and out of the oceans. Once in the oceans, the CO 2 no longer traps heat. CO 2 also moves quickly between the atmosphere and the land biosphere (material that is or was living on land).Of the three places where carbon is stored---atmosphere, oceans, and land biosphere---approximately 93 percent of the CO 2 is found in the oceans. The atmosphere, at about 750 petagrams of carbon (a petagram [Pg] is 10 15 grams), has the smallest amount of carbon


What are 2 processes that cause water to enter the atmosphere?

Evaporation is the process where water changes from a liquid to a gas and enters the atmosphere. Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants into the air through their leaves.


What is the net ionic equation for cobalt II hydroxide?

The net ionic equation for cobalt(II) hydroxide is Co(OH)2(s) ↔ Co2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq). This equation represents the dissociation of solid cobalt(II) hydroxide into cobalt(II) ions and hydroxide ions in solution.


What are the three components of the atmosphere that absorb the heat radiated from the ground?

The three components of the atmosphere that absorb the heat radiated from the ground are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere through a process called the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature.

What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?

Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.

Which is the gas except co 2 which is nether a supporter for combustion nor combustible?

If we assume you mean gases in the atmosphere, the answer is nitrogen (N2). There are many gases that do not burn or support combustion.


What was the affect that photosynthesizing had on the ancient atmosphere?

Early bacterial respiration in the ancient atmosphere (see the process of Photosynthesis photo1, and Photo 2 with oxygen waste product) released oxygen into the atmosphere leading to a oxygen rich atmosphere and the ability of other organisms that fix oxygen to evolve. i.e us! and animals.


How much charcoal to produce 1000 ppm co?

It depends of the volume of the container. When the container is the atmosphere there's no practical amount. In a confined volume of a single cubic meters at standard pressure a handfull of briquettes 2-3 I would think should suffice. Grade intermediate volumes accordingly.


What is the net ionic equation for cobalt II hydroxide?

The net ionic equation for cobalt(II) hydroxide is Co(OH)2(s) ↔ Co2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq). This equation represents the dissociation of solid cobalt(II) hydroxide into cobalt(II) ions and hydroxide ions in solution.
