What gases do plants take in and give off?
They take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. So we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. We help eachother. They need carbon dioxide, we need oxygen.
What does exhaled air contain?
Carbon dioxidenitrogenoxygen
What does the air you breathe out contain?
mostly the same as input, but less oxygen and more mucus
What gases are found in pure air?
carbon, nitrogen and oxygen
What is the definitionof CO2?
Carbon dioxide is an acidic dismal gas with a thickness about 53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide particles comprise of a carbon molecule covalently twofold clung to two oxygen iotas. It happens normally in Earth's environment as a follow gas.
If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?
Carbon monoxide is actually close to the same density of air. It is carbon dioxide that is denser than air.
What form is carbon in when released into the air?
Carbon most commonly enters the air as a gas: carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, or carbon monoxide, but it can also exist in the air as a solid (soot) for long periods of time. Carbon is an element in a solid form. When it released in air, it remains in the same form. If it is burnt in air then it released carbon dioxide & carbon mono oxide.
How can carbon be passed from plants and animals to human beings?
when plants and animals respire, carbon is returned to the air as carbon dioxide, and humans then beathe in the same carbon dioxide that was placed into the air by the decomposed plants and animals.
Why should the amount of carbon in the air stay the same?
to give plants nuetrition
Air not the same as oxygen?
Yes, Air is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and pollutants.
Is carbon found in the air?
Elemental carbon is not a component of air but carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide are.
Does carbon dioxide dissolve into air?
Carbon dioxide IS air
What gas is used to make the foam for firefighters?
The same air that we breathe !!
What is the air found in ballon?
It depends how the balloon was inflated... If a person breathed into it, the air will be the same as outside - apart from the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide. If a 'pump' was used to inflate it - the air inside and outside the balloon will be the same.
How do bushfires increase the Carbon Dioxide in the air?
Bushfires burn wood and vegetation, releasing carbon dioxide into the air, but they do not have a long-term effect on total atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This is because the new growth that follows the busfire will eventually absorb the same amount of carbon as the trees that were burnt.
Why do we need to release Carbon Dioxide?
your body produce carbon dioxide because just as you eat food and then excrete waste the same applies to respiration if we breath in oxygen (which is good air) our body then takes out carbon dioxide (which is bad air). i hope this helps
What is formed when carbon reacts with air?
When carbon is exposed to air nothing happens.
