I might be somewhat off in this answer, and I hope if I'm wrong, someone will correct me. CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is produced by humans & animals. When you inhale air, your body uses the oxygen in it. When you exhale, you produce Carbon Dioxide. Transversely, plants produce oxygen & take in Carbon Dioxide. This answer is absolute trite garbage! If this is the best that Wikipedia can do, then I shall not use it again. "Trite Garbage" HMM. Well, most people must guess that someone with such a brilliant comment would have a better answer for the question. It seems you don't however. Allow me to elaborate on the the answer I gave before. Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material to produce polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose, proteins and the wide variety of other organic compounds required for plant growth and development. It is produced during respiration by plants, and by all animals (including humans), fungi and microorganisms that depend on living and decaying plants for food, either directly or indirectly. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a byproduct of the combustion of fossil fuels or the burning of vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted from volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs and geysers and by the dissolution of carbonates in crustal rocks. There you have it. a little more detailed than my previous answer, but in a roundabout way it expresses the same facts. Along with a few extras. Hope this helps.
The answer is yes. The EIA (Energy Information Administratoin, part of the united states government) use metric tons for measuring CO2 equivalent, therefore it should be (or is) the standard.
Yes, there are various patents and operations around the world scrubbing exhaust gases from fossil fueled powerplants through algae filled tubes, and turning the algae into fuel / food.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2); cola is a super-saturated solution of carbon dioxide (and other things). If you add a crystal of salt to a supersaturated salt solution, the extra salt dissolved in the water will start crystallizing around that "seed" crystal you added and come out of solution. Relatedly, when you add solid/gaseous pure CO2 to a supersaturated CO2 solution, the extra dissolved CO2 will start coming out of solution, prompted by the addition of pure CO2.
44 grams of CO2 (1 mol CO2 from 1 mol C if enough oxygen, air, is available)
There is no such molecule as Ca2. Calcium is simply Ca. Calcium will most likely react with CO2 to produce Calcium oxide and carbon. 2Ca + CO2 --> 2CaO + C.
CO2 and methane from our bodies.
The average CO2 emissions per car per year is around 4.6 metric tons.
Power plants can purchase scrubbers to remove some CO2.
It is difficult to predict with certainty, but currently, China has the highest CO2 emissions globally. However, efforts to reduce emissions are ongoing worldwide, so the ranking may change by 2025.
As of the latest available data, Toronto emits approximately 11.3 million metric tons of CO2 annually. This translates to about 31,000 metric tons of CO2 released daily. The emissions come from various sources, including transportation, buildings, and industrial activities. Efforts are ongoing to reduce these emissions through sustainability initiatives and improved urban planning.

The relationship between CO2 emissions and the impact on the environment is direct and significant. Higher levels of CO2 emissions lead to increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, which contribute to global warming and climate change. This can result in various environmental impacts such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial in mitigating these negative effects on the environment.
Qatar has the highest CO2 emissions per capita in the world. This is due to its heavy reliance on oil and gas production as well as its small population size, leading to high emissions per person.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, mostly.
Laundry requires energy, energy generation usually releases CO2 to the atmosphere.Additionally, production of detergents also results in CO2 emissions.
Yes, there is a strong connection between CO2 emissions and global climate change. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures and various climate impacts such as rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. Reducing CO2 emissions is vital to mitigating the effects of climate change.
China is the largest producer of CO2 emissions in the world, followed by the United States and India.
