How does carbon dioxide get put back into the air?

Carbon dioxide gets put back in the air in a variety of ways. It can come from the burning of fossil fuels, automobiles, industry, the respiration from plants, and the decay of animal matter.


What process put carbon dioxide into the air?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).


Put the combustion of carbon into a word equation?

HYDROCARBON + OXYGENÜ CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER


What test can you carry out to show that carbon dioxide is denser than air?

One of my favorites is to get a big bath jar and put dry ice in the bottom. Cover it (loosely) to keep air from stirring it up and let some of the dry ice evaporate. IF carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the carbon dioxide will fill the bottom of the bath, and you can float a soap bubble filled with ordinary air on the heavier carbon dioxide layer. Try it and see.You could also construct an apparatus with candles at various heights and connect it with tubing to a carbon dioxide source (such as a compressed gas cylinder). As the carbon dioxide enters the tank with the candles, it should fill up the tank in such a way that the lowest candles are extinguished first.


What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)

Why is carbon dioxide now 0.038 in the air?

It is now (2018) 0.041%. Because we humans have put it there by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). We are also responsible for deforestation, which has removed millions of trees that used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What is the modern word for fixed air?

carbon dioxide. (experiment by: Jason Priestly) He put a mouse in a jar, the mouse couldn't breathe. Then he put a plant in the same jar as the mouse, and the mouse could breathe!

How do cars put carbon dioxide into the air?

The internal combustion engine ignites the fuel. That fuel then expands as it burns into carbon dioxide. Carbo ndioxide is what is left from the burning of fossil fuels.


Why exhaling carbon dioxide can not put out a fire?

When you exhale, you are not exhaling carbon dioxide. You are exhaling air with a slightly higher-than-normal concentration of carbon dioxide and a slightly lower-than-normal concentration of oxygen. Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire by forcing oxygen away from the fuel, but the air you exhale still has more than enough oxygen to support combustion.

What do you use carbon dioxide?

Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.


How is carbon dioxide put into rocks?

Carbon dioxide can form carbonates when it react with a basic substance


Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?

No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.
