CO2, or carbon dioxide, is gaseous in nature.
Carbon dioxide is an inorganic gas.
Plants use CO2 during photosynthesis to convert it into oxygen and glucose, which is essential for their growth and survival. CO2 also plays a role in maintaining the Earth's temperature by trapping heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Awesome catch! CO2 is produced in very massive amounts by dead plants. As a interesting note, dead and decaying plants produce far more CO2 then man. Many time that of man! Man produces about 2 to 5% of all CO2. The rest is created by nature. Most of this by plants and animal life that are decaying.
CO2 is more soluble in aqueous NaOH solution than in pure water because NaOH increases the solution's pH, promoting the formation of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). These reactions effectively remove CO2 from the gas phase, shifting the equilibrium towards more CO2 dissolving in the solution. Additionally, the ionic nature of NaOH enhances the overall solubility of CO2 by providing a favorable environment for its reaction and dissolution.
In nature, H2CO3 forms when carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water (H2O) to create carbonic acid (H2CO3). This process occurs naturally in bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes, as well as in rainwater. Carbonic acid is also produced in living organisms during respiration when CO2 is released into the bloodstream and reacts with water.
Carbon dioxide is an inorganic gas.
In moist conditions, carbon dioxide (CO2) can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that can release H+ ions, making the solution slightly acidic. This is why CO2 is considered acidic in nature in moist conditions.
The pH value of a solution of CO2 and H2O is around 5.6, which indicates that it is slightly acidic. When CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which contributes to its acidic nature.
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a radical. A radical is a molecule that has unpaired electrons, making it highly reactive. CO2 has a stable electron configuration with all its electrons paired, which contributes to its non-reactive nature under normal conditions.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water because of its polar nature. The molecules of water are polar, meaning they have positive and negative charges on different ends. CO2 is also a polar molecule, so it is attracted to the water molecules. This attraction allows CO2 to dissolve in water, forming a solution.
This results from something dissolving in water, leaving an excess of H+ ions. In nature for instance, CO2 dissolves in water as H2O+CO2 giving H2CO3 and this can dissociate into 2H+ and CO32-

yes but it is depend on nature of gas whether it is flammable or not.... co2 is fire extinguisher gas widely used ....
magnesium :)
It really is not a problem. Currently CO2 levels are at a global level of 0.037%. Nature produces the vast bulk of this CO2 and life would stop on the planet if level dropped to 200 PPM. If you look at the Vostok webiste (where we get our old climate data from) one of the complaints that science experts have is the level of CO2 is too low! Only 280 PPM. Without CO2 the planet would be extremely cold and quite dead. Our oceans, which collect most of the CO2 from or atmosphere, do an awesome job of pulling the CO2 out of the air!
Anything that decays gives off CO2, which means that yes, they do contribute in the same way that all of nature contributes.
