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.
Odour Odourless
Taste Neutral
Toxicity Non-toxic, legally approved for use with foodstuffs and does not require declaration
OEL value 5,000 ml/m3 (ppm) as an eight-hour average
Medical application Inhalation of 3 to 5% CO2 in breathing gas
Experience with high Irritation of the respiratory centre at 30,000 to 50,000 ppm (3 to 5 vol%).
concentrations of CO2 in breathing gas Loss of consciousness at 70,000 to 100,000 ppm (7 to 10 vol%) due to lack of oxygen.

1 aggregate states of CO2 exist can be seen in the phase diagram (p,T) Gaseous 10-1 173 223 273 323 373 Temperature T, K
Solid CO2 (dry ice)
At p = 0.981 bars and t = -78.9°C (194.25 K)
Heat of sublimation rs = 573.02 kJ/kg
Refrigerating capacity when warming from -78.9°C (194.25 K) auf 0°C (273 K) qO ≈ 645 kJ/kg

Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide 17 CO2 pressures in cylinders for different filling ratios
On cold winter days, the pressure in a carbon dioxide cylinder falls sharply. The CO2 pressure depends only on the temperature. It says nothing about the content of the bottle. It is only possible to check the content by weighing.

Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide 25 Definitions
Thermodynamic state variables Molecular mass Any quantity of substance is defined by three thermody- The molecular mass, formerly called molecular weight, namic state variables: the volume V (specific volumev = is a dimensionless number which indicates how much VIm), the pressure p and the temperature T. greater the mass of a molecule is than 1/12 of the atomic mass of the carbon isotope 12C. For each aggregate state – solid, liquid or gaseous – the third of these variables is determined by the other two. Density Other state variables are the entropy s, the enthalpy h Formula symbol p and the internal energy u. Unit kg/m3 The density of a substance is the quotient of the mass
The p, t diagram for CO2 depicts the regions in which m and the volume V (p = m/V). the different phases exist. Two phases are in equilibrium along each of the plotted boundary curves. At the Specific heat capacity triple point, all three phases exist simultaneously Formula symbols cp1 cv1 (cf. pressure-enthalpy diagram).

Above the critical point, it is no longer possible to distinguish between liquid and With gases, a distinction is made between cp and cv vapour (no difference in density); there no longer exists depending whether the heat is supplied under condi- a liquid level at which the vapour and the liquid are in tions of constant pressure or constant volume.

Note: The heat transfer coefficient describes the passage of heat through the surface of a body into its Entropy (specific) environment. The unit of this number is W/(m2 ∙ K); its Formula symbol s formula symbol is k.

30 Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide Conversion instructions for CO2 residual gas components, volume fractions ⇒ mass fractions
Volume fractions
Volume fractions of residual gas components in CO2 are given in percent by volume = vol% or ppm v/v = parts per million, depending on the concentration. (The designation vpm = volume parts per million is also still frequently used.)
1 ppm v/v = 1 cm3/1 m3 (1 volume fraction per 1,000,000 Volumenanteile)
1 ppm v/v = 1 µl/1 I = 1 µl/1 dm3
10,000 ppm v/v = 10,000 cm3/1 m3 = 10 dm3/1 m3 = 1 Vol-%
Mass fractions
Weight fractions of residual gas components in CO2 are given in percent by weight or ppm w/w = parts per million, depending on the concentration.
1 ppm w/w = 1 mg/1 kg (1 mass fraction per 1,000,000 mass fractions)
1 ppm w/w = 1 µg/1 g
10,000 ppm w/w = 10,000 mg/1 kg = 10 g/1 kg = 1 wt%
Molar mass/molar volume (* = multiplication sign)
M CO2 = 44.011 g/mol V mn = 22.263 l/mol
1 kg CO 1000 g = 22.72 mol 2 44.011 g/mol
1 m3 CO 1000l = 44.92 mol 2 22.263 l/mol
1 kg CO2 22.72 mol * 22.263 l/mol = 505.8 I CO2
3 1 m CO2 44.92 mol * 44.011 g/mol = 1977 g CO2
Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide 31 Conversion of volume fraction ⇔ mass fraction (* = multiplication sign)
M Residual gas ppm v/v = X (mg/kg) * CO M 2
M Residual gas = molar mass of the residual gas component (g/mol)
M CO2 = molar mass of the containing gas (g/mol) X = mass fraction (mg/kg corresponds to ppm w/w)
Example: How many mass fractions is equivalent to 1 ppm v/v CH4 in CO2?
(Molar mass of CH4 = 16 g/mol ; molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol)
16 g/mol X (ppm w/w) = 1 ppm v/v = 0.3636 mg/kg * 44 g/mol
0.3636 mg/kg 44 g/mol Reverse: * = 1 ppm v/v calculation 16 g/mol
Example: How many volume fractions is equivalent to 100 ppm w/w H2O in CO2?
3 (Density: CO2 = 1,977 kg/Nm ; H2O = 0,804 mg/ml)
100 ppm w/w mg 1.977 kg/m3 246 cm3 * = = 246 ppm v/v kg 0,804 mg/cm3 m3

Gases for Life | Properties of Carbon Dioxide 35 We make the most out of air.
For over 100 years, the name Messer has been associ- into its individual components every day and make ated with expertise in industrial gases. The Messer more from them: Gases for Life. Group manufactures and supplies oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, helium, shielding This involves separating air into its three main gases, specialty gases, medical gases and a wide gases – nitrogen, oxygen and argon – as well as variety of gas mixtures. We at Messer call our products the noble gases xenon and krypton, each of which “Gases for Life”, because they are as important as we then process and store in liquid or gaseous form water and electricity in the manufacture of everyday for subsequent use. And in addition to these gases products from cars to braces. Air is the raw material obtained from air, we access others from natural or from which we obtain a major share of our gases. At industrial sources: carbon dioxide, hydrogen, over 60 air separation units worldwide, we separate air helium and acetylene
And we make even more.
Gases for welding and cutting Be it shielding gases for welding or highly developed welding gas mixtures, Messer offers the whole spectrum of gases for welding and cutting. Range of services: • TIG, MIG and MAG welding • Forming • Laser cutting
Specialty gases The diversity of applications is mirrored by the breadth of Messer’s specialty gases portfolio that has been tailored to them. Examples of applications: Gases for the food industry • liquid helium is used for cooling superconducting All the pure gases and gas mixtures that Messer magnets in MRI scanners produces for use in the food industry are marketed • analytical processes involve the use of high purity under the name Gourmet. Messer gases and gas gases processes are used in different areas: • individual gas mixtures as calibration gases • for cryogenic freezing • insulating glass panels are filled with krypton • in complete transport refrigeration systems • light bulbs with krypton-xenon mixtures • in modified atmosphere packaging of food • in system solutions that optimise mixing and Gases for medicine kneading processes In clinical treatment, medical gases are an important element of health care. The gas applications are manifold. Applications: • anaesthesia • pain management • diagnosis • respiratory therapy • surgery • cryotherapy • storage of biological materials Messer Group GmbH Messer-Platz 1 65812 Bad Soden Tel. +49 6196 7760-0 Fax +49 6196 7760-442 [email protected] www.messergroup.com
