Turns milky due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate. That is insoluble in water & look milky.

What happen when carbon dioxide gas is passed though lime water which compound is formed?

Calcium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate.


Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.


Why does the carbon dioxide you breathe out rises?

Even though Carbon Dioxide gas is the heaviest of the gases that make up our atmosphere. Breathing them out of your lungs heats up those Carbon Dioxide molecules to your body temperature and this helps them to rise into the atmosphere and as they cool they fall.


What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?

Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.


Where does the carbon in CO2 go Doesn't gravity and rain clean the CO2 from the atmosphere?

No. Carbon dioxide is thoroughly mixed into the atmosphere and cannot separate from the air simply though gravity. Some carbon dioxide does go into water to become locked away in carbonate minerals, but the primary way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is through photosynthesis, a process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Currently we are producing more carbon dioxide than the plants can absorb, resulting in an increase in the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

If you could break up carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?

No, breaking up a carbon dioxide molecule would result in the formation of separate carbon and oxygen atoms or molecules, depending on the method used. Breaking the bonds of the carbon dioxide molecule would disrupt its structure and composition, resulting in different chemical species than the original carbon dioxide molecule.

Is carbon dioxide water and glucose are all elements?

No, water and glucose are solutions. Carbon dioxide is an element though.


Is carbon dioxide metal nonmetal or metalloid?

Actually none of the options given above are true for carbon dioxide. Though carbon and oxygen are both non-metals, carbon dioxide is considered as a compound.


What air pollutants combined cause carbon dioxide?

Carbon (one atom) and Oxygen (two atoms) combine to make carbon dioxide (CO2). Neither of these elements is an air pollutant, though the result, carbon dioxide, is.

When carbon monoxide and oxygen react carbon dioxide forms?

When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen under proper conditions, it produces carbon dioxide. This reaction typically occurs during combustion processes such as burning fossil fuels like gasoline. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, whereas carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration and combustion.


What is the difference between carbon 4 oxide and carbon dioxide?

There is no compound called carbon 4 oxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless gas composed of two oxygen atoms bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a greenhouse gas emitted through natural processes and human activities.


Is carbon-dioxide a non-metal?

Carbon Dioxide is a compound formed by a Carbon and Oxygen. Only an element can be classified as a metal, non-metal or a metalloid. Compounds cannot be classified in these categories. Carbon and oxygen both are non-metals.


Which do you inhale when you breath oxygen or carbon dioxide?

Both! your body only keeps the oxygen though and when you breath out the carbon ddioxide comes out
