  2. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    Carbon dioxide is used in many consumer products that require pressurized gas because it is inexpensive and nonflammable, and because it undergoes a phase transition from gas to liquid at room temperature at an attainable pressure of approximately 60 bar (870 psi; 59 atm), allowing far more carbon dioxide to fit in a given container than ...

  3. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  4. Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth's...

    Carbon dioxide is often mentioned in the context of its increased influence as a greenhouse gas since the pre-industrial (1750) era. In 2013, the increase in CO 2 was estimated to be responsible for 1.82 W m −2 of the 2.63 W m −2 change in radiative forcing on Earth (about 70%).

  5. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.

  6. Kinetic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_diameter

    Kinetic diameter is a measure applied to atoms and molecules that expresses the likelihood that a molecule in a gas will collide with another molecule. It is an indication of the size of the molecule as a target.

  8. As waste breaks down in landfills, it emits methane, a greenhouse gas that is 84 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) measured over a 20-year span, and 28 times more potent than CO2 when ...

  9. Phosgene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosgene

    Phosgene reacts with water to release hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide: COCl 2 + H 2 O → CO 2 + 2 HCl. Analogously, upon contact with ammonia, it converts to urea: COCl 2 + 4 NH 3 → CO(NH 2) 2 + 2 [NH 4]Cl. Halide exchange with nitrogen trifluoride and aluminium tribromide gives COF 2 and COBr 2, respectively. [9]
