While this depends on the size and maturity of the tree and whether it is in a temperate climate of a northern climate (and so is "out of business" for about half the year) there are many estimates of tree oxygen production rates. Environment Canada, Canada's national environmental agency, has calculated that one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year or a bit less than than a pound of oxygen a day (about 12 oz) averaged over the whole year.

Since 44 lb of CO2 contains 32 lb of oxygen, 12 oz of oxygen is liberated from the photosynthesis of about 12/16 x 44/32 = 1.03 lb of carbon dioxide.

How much oxygen is required to convert 14.0 grams of CO into CO2?

To convert 14.0 grams of CO into CO2, you need 16 grams of oxygen. This is because each molecule of CO reacts with one molecule of O2 to form one molecule of CO2. The molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mol, so 16 grams of oxygen is needed to convert 14.0 grams of CO.


How can one convert CO2 into oxygen?

One can convert CO2 into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in plants and some microorganisms. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) from the soil, and using sunlight as energy, they convert these substances into oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12O6). This process helps to replenish the oxygen in the atmosphere and is essential for life on Earth.


How can one convert CO2 to O2?

One can convert CO2 to O2 through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in plants. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into oxygen (O2) and glucose. This process helps to replenish the oxygen in the atmosphere and is essential for the survival of living organisms on Earth.

No. Sunlight is needed by plants to convert CO2 to O2.


Is tree a plant?

yes.. obviously. It needs oxygen to live, and it gives off carbon dioxide. So yes, a tree is a plant. What describes a plant?.........now look for a tree and reflect Improved:: Yes a tree is a plant,however they do not take in oxygen and give off CO2..Its just the opposite,Trees take in the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and produce O2(oxygen).......


What is the plants role in carbon cycle?

Plants have the ability to convert CO2, or Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.


What would happen if humans killed the plants of an ecosystem?

If humans killed ALL plants on earth, we would all suffocate. This is because plants convert co2 (carbon dioxide), which is exhaled by all animals, back into oxygen through photosynthesis. If they didn't convert co2, the earth's oxygen supply would depleat and we would fill the atmosphere with co2, and we would have no oxygen.


How can we convert CO2 to oxygen to help combat climate change?

One way to convert CO2 to oxygen to combat climate change is through the process of photosynthesis. Plants and trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Increasing the number of trees and plants through reforestation and afforestation efforts can help remove CO2 from the atmosphere and increase oxygen levels. Additionally, technologies such as carbon capture and storage can also be used to capture CO2 emissions from industrial sources and store them underground, preventing them from entering the atmosphere.
