Air is not the same as carbon dioxide but does contain a small amount of the gas. Air also contains oxygen and nitrogen.

Air not the same as oxygen?

Yes, Air is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and pollutants.


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.


Is carbon found in the air?

Elemental carbon is not a component of air but carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide are.


What gas is used to make the foam for firefighters?

The same air that we breathe !!


Is Charcoal Allotropes of carbon?

Yes, charcoal is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are different forms of the same element that exist in the same physical state but have different properties. Charcoal is a form of carbon that is produced by heating organic material in the absence of air.


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.


What compound in air contains carbon?

Carbon is in most of the chemicals in living things and is in the air in carbon dioxide gas.


What is formed when carbon reacts with air?

When carbon is exposed to air nothing happens.


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 oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?

Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air.


If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?

While carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air, it diffuses evenly in a space and can reach lethal concentrations throughout a room, including at ceiling height. Installing detectors on ceilings ensures that they can effectively sense any buildup of carbon monoxide in the environment.


Is carbon disulfide heavier than air?

At room temperature, carbon disulfide is a liquid and therefore quite a bit more dense ('heavier') than air. Even at temperatures where carbon disulfide is a gas, it's considerably more dense than air at the same temperature and pressure. The density of a gas is more or less proportional to its molar mass; for carbon disulfide this is 76 while air is mostly nitrogen (28) and oxygen (32).
