Do cars omit carbon dioxide?

No, they release carbon and others from the exhaust but later the carbon goes through synthesis in which it forms carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


When oxygen burns does it give off carbon dioxide?

No, when oxygen burns, it combines with other elements to form oxides, not carbon dioxide. For example, when oxygen burns hydrocarbons, it forms carbon dioxide and water.

How is carbon-14 produced?

Carbon-14 is produced in the Earth's atmosphere when cosmic rays collide with nitrogen atoms, leading to the formation of carbon-14. This carbon-14 then combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which enters the carbon cycle and is absorbed by living organisms.


If the Earth's original atmosphere was mainly carbon dioxide where did it all go and how?

The carbon dioxide in Earth's original atmosphere was converted into other compounds through processes like photosynthesis by early life forms and weathering of rocks. This led to the formation of oxygen and carbon reservoirs, ultimately leading to the evolution of the current atmosphere with a different composition.


What forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water?

When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid.
