Liquid: Carbon typically exists in liquid form under extreme conditions such as high pressure and temperature. Gas: Carbon can also exist as a gas, such as in carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4).


What is a dangerous by-product of combustion?

If the combustion is incomplete, carbon monoxide can be formed. Other than that, if you are in an enclosed space, carbon dioxide could be dangerous. Also, if a fire occurs, that could also be dangerous.


What change(s) in physical state occur if carbon dioxide at 50C and 73 ATM is cooled to -78C and 73 ATM?

The carbon dioxide would change from a supercritical fluid state to a liquid state as it is cooled. At 50°C and 73 ATM, carbon dioxide is in its supercritical state, which means it possesses properties of both a gas and a liquid due to high temperature and pressure. By cooling it to -78°C while maintaining 73 ATM pressure, it would transition into a liquid state.


Is carbon a liquid solid or gas?

if you mean carbondioxide, then it's state is meant to me gas.Answeri think carbon i s gasAnswerthe people above me are fails, carbon is a solid and is a nonmetal. it is able to form strong covalent bond with other carbon hence gives it a high melting point. common carbon is graphite and diamond.
