According to notes on the web, Flemish scientist Jan Baptista van Helmont was the first to describe Carbon Dioxide around 1630. At this point it was called a "Wood Gas". It wasn't until the mid 1700's when it was further characterized, and in 1823 it was liquefied, and in 1834 made into dry ice.
In the late 1800's, the idea of Infrared radiation absorption was discovered, and by the mid 1900's the idea of greenhouse gasses was beginning to be formulated.
"The Population Bomb", a book written by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968 discussed CO2 as a greenhouse gas, but at that time there was no consensus whether pollution would cause cooling of the earth, or greenhouse gasses would cause warming of the earth.
What else can I help you with?
CO2's full name?
Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide
What gas is given off during respiration?
Carbon dioxide
What are two ways that deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What gas do people breathe out?
Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in this carbon dioxide along with sunlight and water, and convert it into a form of energy. They release oxygen.Carbon dioxide CO2
How does the lumber industry affects the environment?
If you chop trees down, there are less trees to absorbe the carbon dioxide. Also, carbon dioxide can be released from the that are chopped down.
Who discoverd carbon?
Ancients and they discovered it in prehistoric times
What gas is exhaled from the lungs?
carbon dioxide
How did jons berzelius discovered silicon?
he discoverd it by heating protasium and carbon together.
Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?
Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in organisms, including humans and animals. During respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the name of this compound CO 2?
CO2 is the chemical formula of carbon dioxide.
What is the gas in Coca-Cola?
All carbonated drinks, including Coca Cola, use carbon dioxide (CO2).
In a solution of carbon dioxide in water a soft drink the carbon dioxide is the solute?
Yes, in a solution of carbon dioxide in water, the carbon dioxide gas is the solute and the water is the solvent. The carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form a homogenous mixture, giving the drink its fizziness.
Is there carbon dioxide?
Yes, there is carbon dioxide.
Which gas is contained in the soda water?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is mainly produced by the decomposition of pressurized carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide.
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).
