oBecause carbon dioxide is a compound, not an element.
As a compound it is a combination of elements. The elements being one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. , hence its formula CO2.
What else can I help you with?
How do you mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water?
To mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, the sugar (glucose) undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen. This chemical reaction results in the production of carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The reaction equation is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
What the consequences of this carbon dioxide blanket settling in the earths atmosphere?
The consequences of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere include global warming, leading to rising temperatures, sea level rise, melting ice caps, more extreme weather events, and disrupted ecosystems. This can have severe impacts on agriculture, water availability, and human health.
What is the differences between a carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Carbon monoxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide is flammable whereas carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fires.
How is carbon dioxide harmful?
People and all animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Their bodies are designed to breathe at a certain rate in order to eliminate carbon dioxide. If they are in an area high in carbon dioxide, they will breathe at an extremely rapid rate to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide even though there is enough oxygen. Many scientists think the high level of carbon dioxide is the major cause of the ocean becoming more acidic. Carbon dioxide becomes a weak acid when mixed with water. The western world emits a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide. Other scientists think the major cause of oceanic acidity is the tremendous amount of sulfuric acid thrown into the atmosphere by the factories of India and China. Sulfuric acid is a powerful acid. Probably both contribute and with the tremendous amount of sewage and fertilizer poured into the ocean are causing ocean acidity resulting in the death of many coral reefs and before long will cause the decline of the shell fish industry. Your grandchildren will ask you, "What were oysters?"
What are three compounds?
Tons are, but there is polar-covalent and nonpolar-covalent. Water, for example, is polar-covalent. Polar means that the atom is not symetrical on an atomic level and could be linear, bent, or other shapes. Non polar means it's symetrical, such as much tetrahedrals.
What is found on the periodic table and cant be broken down?
Elements are what make up the Periodic Table; they also cannot be broken down into smaller substances.
Why cant you find H2O in your periodic table?
H2O isn't a single element, which is what the periodic table Most things are made of compounds of these elements. . It is comprised of 2 hydrogen atoms (H, on the periodic table) and oxygen (O, on the periodic table).
Can you breathe in all gases?
No, we cant breath all of the gases for example we cant breath carbon dioxide
Why there are more substances on Earth than are listed on the periodic table of elements?
The periodic table is a list of elements - substances made up of only one type of atom. Carbon dioxide (for example) isn't on the periodic table because it is made up of two different atoms - oxygen (O) and Carbon (C) both oxygen and carbon are on the periodic table because they cant be broken down into other substances. A substance which is made up of 1 single atom type is an Element. These are on the periodic table. A substance which is made up of two different atom types is a Compound. These are not on the periodic table, however all the 'ingredients' making them up are on the periodic table.
What is the benefit of a catalytic converter changing carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide?
Converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide is beneficial because carbon dioxide is less toxic to humans and the environment than carbon monoxide. This conversion helps reduce the harmful effects of carbon monoxide emissions on air quality and human health.
How do you fix without replacing catalyst?
you cant because the object is to create carbon dioxide and H2o from carbon monoxide which is environmentaly safe
Why cant you find water on the periodic table?
It is not an element, it is a compound. It has a 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom (H20).
Do plants give animals carbon dioxide?
well on plants they die and shrivel up like a rasin. then on animals they just cant breathe.
Can we say that you cant hear sound in space because there is no oxygen and carbon dioxide?
It is better to say that it is because there is no air of any sort in space. Any gas can carry sound, it is not a special property of oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Why are trees improtan?
Because when we breath out we let out carbon dioxide and when we breath in we take in oxygen because we cant breath in carbon dioxide . Trees are living just like us so but they breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen so without trees we would'nt be here . also they make great furniture
How can you tell from the periodic table how many outer shell electrons an atom will have?
you cant its inposible just pay attention in class and u will find out.
Why cant you breathe on Venus?
It's mostly carbon dioxide and a little nitrogen. We need oxygen and a lot of nitrogen.
