Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide 3 Important data for CO2 Chemical formula CO2 (atomic bonding O = C = O) Molar mass MCO2 = 44.011 kg/kmol 3 Standard molar volume Vmn = 22.263 m /kmol Specific gas constant RCO2 = 0.1889 kJ/(kg ∙ K) 3 Standard density rn = 1.977 kg/m CO2/air density ratio under standard d = 1.529 conditions Critical temperature tcrit = 31 °C Critical pressure Pcrit = 73.83 bars 3 Critical density rcrit = 466 kg/m Sublimation point ts = -78.9 °C bei 0.981 bars Triple point tT = -56.6 °C bei 5.18 bars Decomposition temperature From about 1,200°C, for a decomposition level of about 0.032 vol% Colour in gaseous state Colourless Fire behaviour Not combustible, known as a fire-extinguishing agent Static electricity/charge When CO2 effuses into the atmosphere from the liquid phase, the dry ice particles that form give rise to an “electrostatic charge”. Reactivity under normal conditions Stable compound, employed as an inert gas at normal ambient temperatures. Combination with water CO2+H2O=H2CO3 Of the CO2 gas dissolved in water, only about 0.1% exists as the acid H2CO3. The pH value of aqueous CO2 solutions at standard pressure is 3.7. Under pressure, it falls to a limiting value of 3.3. Hence CO2 is well suited as a neutralising medium for alkaline solutions.

  • Titanium Dioxide Production Final Rule: Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases
    Titanium Dioxide Production Final Rule: Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) rule, owners or operators of facilities that contain titanium dioxide production processes (as defined below) must report emissions from titanium dioxide production and all other source categories located at the facility for which methods are defined in the rule. Owners or operators are required to collect emission data; calculate GHG emissions; and follow the specified procedures for quality assurance, missing data, recordkeeping, and reporting. How Is This Source Category Defined? The titanium dioxide production source category consists of any facility that uses the chloride process to produce titanium dioxide. What GHGs Must Be Reported? Each titanium dioxide production facility must report carbon dioxide (CO2) process emissions from each chloride process line. In addition, each facility must report GHG emissions for other source categories for which calculation methods are provided in the rule. For example, facilities must report CO2, nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4) emissions from each stationary combustion unit on site by following the requirements of 40 CFR part 98, subpart C (General Stationary Fuel Combustion Sources). Please refer to the relevant information sheet for a summary of the rule requirements for calculating and reporting emissions from any other source categories at the facility. How Must GHG Emissions Be Calculated? Reporters must calculate CO2 process emissions using one of two methods, as appropriate: • Installing and operating a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) according to the requirements specified in 40 CFR part 98, subpart C. • Calculating the process CO2 emissions for each process line using monthly measurements of the mass and carbon content of calcined petroleum coke.

  • Carbon Dioxide
    Safetygram 18 Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide is nonflammable, colorless, and odorless in the gaseous and liquid states. Carbon dioxide is a minor but important constituent of the atmosphere, averaging about 0.036% or 360 ppm by volume. It is also a normal end-prod- uct of human and animal metabolism. Dry carbon dioxide is a relatively inert gas. In the event moisture is present in high concentrations, carbonic acid may be formed and materials resistant to this acid should be used. High flow rates or rapid depressurization of a system can cause temperatures approaching the sublimation point (–109.3°F [–78.5°C]) to be attained within the system. Carbon dioxide will convert directly from a liquid to a solid if the liquid is depressurized below 76 psia (61 psig). The use of ma- terials which become brittle at low temperatures should be avoided in applications where temperatures less than –20°F (–29°C) are expected. Vessels and piping used in carbon dioxide service should be designed to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) or Department of Transportation (DOT) codes for the pressures and temperatures involved. Physical properties are listed in Table 1. Carbon dioxide in the gaseous state is colorless and odorless and not easily detectable. Gaseous carbon dioxide is 1.5 times denser than air and therefore is found in greater concentrations at low levels. Ventilation systems should be designed to exhaust from the lowest levels and allow make-up air to enter at a higher level. Manufacture Carbon dioxide is produced as a crude by-product of a number of manufactur- ing processes.

  • Carbon Dioxide Exposure Effects – Fact Sheet
    CARBON DIOXIDE EXPOSURE EFFECTS – FACT SHEET Studies by NIOSH in 1976 dispelled the myth that carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant gas and only causes adverse health effects when it displaces oxygen. Symptoms of overexposure by inhalation include dizziness, headache, nausea, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, deeper breathing, increased heart rate (tachycardia), eye and extremity twitching, cardiac arrhythmia, memory disturbances, lack of concentration, visual and hearing disturbances (including photophobia, blurred vision, transient blindness, hearing loss and ringing in the ears), sweating, restlessness, vomiting, shaking, confusion, flushed skin, panic, parathesis (a sensation of numbness in the extremities), disorientation, convulsions, unconsciousness, coma, and death.

  • The Water Molecule
    Seawater Chemistry: Key Ideas Water is a polar molecule with the remarkable ability to dissolve more substances than any other natural solvent. Salinity is the measure of dissolved inorganic solids in water. The most abundant ions dissolved in seawater are chloride, sodium, sulfate, and magnesium. The ocean is in steady state (approx. equilibrium). Water density is greatly affected by temperature and salinity Light and sound travel differently in water than they do in air. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the most important dissolved gases. 1 The Water Molecule Water is a polar molecule with a positive and a negative side. 2 1 Water Molecule Asymmetry of a water molecule and distribution of electrons result in a dipole structure with the oxygen end of the molecule negatively charged and the hydrogen end of the molecule positively charged. 3 The Water Molecule Dipole structure of water molecule produces an electrostatic bond (hydrogen bond) between water molecules. Hydrogen bonds form when the positive end of one water molecule bonds to the negative end of another water molecule. 4 2 Figure 4.1 5 The Dissolving Power of Water As solid sodium chloride dissolves, the positive and negative ions are attracted to the positive and negative ends of the polar water molecules. 6 3 Formation of Hydrated Ions Water dissolves salts by surrounding the atoms in the salt crystal and neutralizing the ionic bond holding the atoms together. 7 Important Property of Water: Heat Capacity Amount of heat to raise T of 1 g by 1oC Water has high heat capacity - 1 calorie Rocks and minerals have low HC ~ 0.2 cal.

  • What Are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide?
    CO Lesson 2 CARBON MONOXIDE: LESSON TWO What are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide? LESSON SUMMARY Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, colorless and nonirritating Grade Level: 9 – 12 gas that is impossible to detect by an exposed person. CO is produced by the Subject(s) Addressed: incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, including gas, wood, oil and Science, Biology coal. Exposure to CO is the leading cause of fatal poisonings in the United Class Time: 1 Period States and many other countries. When inhaled, CO is readily absorbed from the lungs into the bloodstream, where it binds tightly to hemoglobin in the Inquiry Category: Guided place of oxygen. CORE UNDERSTANDING/OBJECTIVES By the end of this lesson, students will have a basic understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying CO toxicity. For specific learning and standards addressed, please see pages 30 and 31. MATERIALS INCORPORATION OF TECHNOLOGY Computer and/or projector with video capabilities INDIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL Fires utilizing carbon-based fuels, such as wood, produce carbon monoxide as a dangerous byproduct when the combustion is incomplete. Fire was important for the survival of early Native American tribes. The traditional teepees were well designed with sophisticated airflow patterns, enabling fires to be contained within the shelter while minimizing carbon monoxide exposure. However, fire was used for purposes other than just heat and cooking. According to the historian Henry Lewis, Native Americans used fire to aid in hunting, crop management, insect collection, warfare and many other activities. Today, fire is used to heat rocks used in sweat lodges.

The pressure-temperature paths of both its melting Accepted: 16 March 2017 and peritectic curves were measured, beginning at 4.4 GPa and 165 °C (where it exists in a quadruple Published: xx xx xxxx equilibrium, together with an aqueous fluid and the ices H2O(VII) and CO2(I)) and proceeding to higher pressures and temperatures. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a triclinic crystal with unit cell parameters (at 6.5 GPa and 20 °C) of a = 5.88 Å, b = 6.59 Å, c = 6.99 Å, α = 88.7°, β = 79.7°, and γ = 67.7°. Raman spectra exhibit a major line at ~1080 cm−1 and lattice modes below 300 cm−1. The binary water-carbon dioxide system is of broad interest, ubiquitous in Earth and planetary sciences, in indus- trial chemistry and in life sciences, and has been the subject of extensive experimental and theoretical attention. Mixed solid phases known from experiments include the sI clathrate hydrate which is stable at temperatures below 21 °C and pressures below 0.7 GPa, and a filled ice observed at pressures up to ~1 GPa, above which it 1–3 decomposes into H2O and CO2 ices . The 1:1 adduct, carbonic acid (H2CO3), has been described in the gas phase, rare-gas -matrix studies and aqueous solution (see, for example, references in Mitterdorfer et al.4 and in Reisenauer et al.5).

  • Measuring Density
    Measuring Density Background All matter has mass and volume. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object has. Its measure is usually given in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. There are numerous units for volume including liters (l), meters cubed (m3), and gallons (gal). Mass and volume are physical properties of matter and may vary with different objects. For example, it is possible for two pieces of metal to be made out of the same material yet for one piece to be bigger than the other. If the first piece of metal is twice as large as the second, then you would expect that this piece is also twice as heavy (or have twice the mass) as the first. If both pieces of metal are made of the same material the ratio of the mass and volume will be the same. We define density (ρ) as the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume it occupies. The equation is given by: M ρ = (1.1) V here the symbol M stands for the mass of the object, and V the volume. Density has the units of mass divided by volume such as grams per centimeters cube (g/cm3) or kilograms per liter (kg/l). Sample Problem #1 A block of wood has a mass of 8 g and occupies a volume of 10 cm3. What is its density? Solution 8g The density will be = 0.8g / cm 3 . 10cm 3 This means that every centimeter cube of this wood will have a mass of 0.8 grams.
