CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when plants or animals oxidize carbon compounds to produce metabolic energy, when carbon compounds are burned, or it can be released by volcanoes, or when acids contact carbonate rocks.

In th case of respiration or fire the reaction is C+O2 -->CO2

What will happen when CO2 is washed with kmno4 water?

When carbon dioxide (CO2) is washed with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) water, the KMnO4 will be reduced by the CO2 to form a brown precipitate of manganese dioxide (MnO2). This reaction can be used to determine the presence of CO2 in a gas sample by observing the color change from purple (KMnO4) to brown (MnO2).


What will happen to the concentration of CO2 in THE WATER if it is heated?

Solubility of CO2 in water decreases with temperature, so as temperature is increased, the concentration of CO2 decreases.
