What are two sources of carbon dioxide?

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation are two primary sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Burning fossil fuels releases CO2 into the atmosphere, while deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to naturally absorb and store carbon dioxide from the air.


Which gas is in the air you breathe out?

Carbon Dioxide, or CO2. Carbon Dioxide is made out of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.


What air pollutants combined cause carbon dioxide?

Carbon (one atom) and Oxygen (two atoms) combine to make carbon dioxide (CO2). Neither of these elements is an air pollutant, though the result, carbon dioxide, is.


Is sulfur dioxide part of carbon dioxide?

No, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are two different compounds. Sulfur dioxide consists of sulfur and oxygen atoms, while carbon dioxide consists of carbon and oxygen atoms. Both are greenhouse gases, but they come from different sources and have different environmental impacts.


What are some examples of natural resources from the air?

What is the product of humans?

Oxygen is extracted, by the lungs, from the air taken in, and carbon dioxide is released from them. So, there are really two products - oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Is carbon dioxide a compound or mixture or element?

Carbon Dioxide is a compound (chemical combination of two elements, carbon and oxygen). Air is a mixture (physical combination of multiple elements and compounds like carbon dioxide, oxygen and so on)


What two things remove carbon from the air?

Forests and oceans are natural carbon sinks that remove carbon dioxide from the air through the process of photosynthesis and ocean uptake. Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, while oceans absorb carbon dioxide through chemical and biological processes.


What two gases are present in unpolluted air?

carbon dioxide, and oxigen


Why does carbon dioxide in the air cause it to warm up?

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, that is, it has more than two atoms and so is able to capture the sun's heat as it radiates off the earth. So the carbon dioxide warms up and in turn, warms the surrounding air.


What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?

Adding one carbon and two oxygen atoms would result in one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2).
