How do you contribute to carbon dioxide levels?

Any time you use electricity you contribute to carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, as most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. This also happens when you drive a vehicle, or fly in a plane.


Why wouldn't you use carbon dioxide on an electrical fire?

Carbon dioxide is actually an excellent choice for use on an electrical fire.


Why does carbon dioxide happen?

When you smoke, ride a vehicle, or use electricity, you let out carbon dioxide.


How could we confirm that the gas generated was in fact Carbon dioxide?

Test it with lime water. If the lime water goes milky you have carbon dioxide.

How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.


What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle if glucose is the sole energy source?

For every molecule of glucose oxidized in the citric acid cycle, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide are produced. Glucose is a 6-carbon molecule that is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide in this cycle. Therefore, the fraction of carbon dioxide exhaled by animals that is generated by the citric acid cycle is 100%.


How does carbon dioxide gets out through the cardiovascular and the respiratory systems?

The blood carries carbon dioxide waste from the tissues where it's generated. When this carbon dioxide reaches the capillaries at the alveoli, it diffuses across the membranes and is released during exhalation.

Do you still need a carbon monoxide detector if your home is heated electrical?

Detector is not for carbon monoxide. It is for carbon dioxide.


How does your body efficiently eliminate the carbon dioxide generated through cellular respiration?

The body eliminates carbon dioxide generated through cellular respiration by breathing it out through the lungs. Carbon dioxide is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it is exchanged for oxygen during respiration. This process helps maintain the body's acid-base balance and removes waste from the body.


What is the electrical conductvity of carbon dioxide?

Electricity is conducted by free electrons. Carbon dioxide is a gas compound. It does not have free electrons. Sit does not conduct electricity.
