How does carbon come back to earth?

Carbon comes back to Earth through various processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and the burning of fossil fuels. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and use it to produce organic compounds. When plants and animals respire, carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Decomposition of organic matter and the burning of fossil fuels also release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.


What is the source of carbon atoms in ethyl alcohol?

The source of carbon atoms in ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is typically from carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, that undergo fermentation by yeast or bacteria. During fermentation, these carbohydrates are broken down into carbon dioxide and ethanol, with the carbon atoms from the carbohydrates ending up in the ethanol molecule.


Why do bubbles come out when you mix carbon dioxide and limewater?

Bubbles form when carbon dioxide gas dissolves in the limewater solution, creating a chemical reaction that forms calcium carbonate. The formation of calcium carbonate is visible as the bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are released, giving the appearance of bubbles forming in the solution.


What is the compound with the formula C3P2?

I analyse the question and come to an answer using the method: 1) If counting the number of Carbons, we can count three which means it is a propane group. 2) If we count the number of carbon-to-carbon bonds initiated into the compound, we can count two double bonds which means the -ene suffix.Therefore i can say the formular C3H4 is called a Propene.


What are the elements that hydrocarbons are made up of?

Hydrocarbons are composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These atoms can form various types of bonds, resulting in different classes of hydrocarbons such as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. The structures and properties of hydrocarbons depend on the specific arrangement of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
