Excess Carbon dioxide Respiratory acidosis is a medical emergency in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and decreases the blood's pH (a condition generally calledacidosis).
Carbon dioxide is produced continuously as the body's cells respire, and this CO2 will accumulate rapidly if the lungs do not adequately expel it through alveolar ventilation. Alveolar hypoventilation thus leads to an increased PaCO2 (a condition called hypercapnia). The increase in PaCO2 in turn decreases the HCO3−/PaCO2 ratio and decreases pH.
CO2 in general is not considered harmful unless allowed to concentrate in a confined place for example and displaces O2.
CO2 is classed as an asphyxiant gas
CO2 gas refers to carbon dioxide gas, which is composed of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a naturally occurring gas in the Earth's atmosphere, and it plays an important role in the carbon cycle and in regulating the Earth's temperature through the greenhouse effect.
CO2 gas is the gaseous form of carbon dioxide, a gas made of two oxygen atoms bound to a single carbon atom.
Aside from being involved in almost all respiratory processes on the planet it has many industrial uses, most often to create an oxygen-free environment for things such as welding and fighting fires .

Which gas is used for the preparation of Soda water?
Carbon dioxide or CO2.
What happens to a gas produced in a reaction?
it depends on what is reacting most commonly it is H2 gas or O2 gas or CO2 gas
What is the density of co2 gas compared to the air in the room?
CO2 gas is more dense than the mixture of air we breathe. You can see this when dry ice sublimates.
Why preheaters used in co2 cylinders?
Preheaters are used in CO2 cylinders to prevent the CO2 gas from liquefying as it is pressurized. Liquefaction can cause blockages or malfunctions in CO2 delivery systems. Preheaters help maintain a consistent gas pressure and ensure a smooth flow of CO2.
Does natural gas emit co2?
Yes, when natural gas is burned for energy or heat, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct. This is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
Do you have to put gas in a blowback airsoft gun?
.... That is why they are called GAS blowback guns. and since you even asked, i feel it important to tell you that they do not mean gasoline. they mean Green Gas, propane, or Co2
What gas in in your blood gas?
oxygen and co2
What is a a property of co2?
CO2 gas is colorless, and it is covalently bonded.
What is the fomula of CO2?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an inorganic gas.
Which gas is used for the preparation of Soda water?
Carbon dioxide or CO2.
What is a mixture that is a gas?
CO2
Is the co2 in coke a liquid or a gas?
it is a dissolved gas
Is co2 a noble gas?
no. it is a molecule, not a noble gas
What happens to a gas produced in a reaction?
it depends on what is reacting most commonly it is H2 gas or O2 gas or CO2 gas
What gas do you expel when you inhale?
You do not expel any gas when inhaling. Inhaling is the act of taking air in, if you mean when exhaling (breathing out) then carbon dioxide (aka CO2)
Does CO2 has gas inside of it?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that naturally occurs in the Earth's atmosphere. It is composed of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. So, CO2 itself is a gas and does not have gas inside of it.
What is the gas formed when calcium carbonate decomposes?
The gas formed when calcium carbonate decomposes is carbon dioxide (CO2).
