Dioxide

Examples

• Although carbon dioxide is very injurious to health, both of the substances of which it is composed are necessary to life. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Opening the grenades under water and collecting the gas that escaped it was found that the average amount of carbon dioxide contained was about one cubic inch per grenade. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
• We see that the source of carbon dioxide is practically inexhaustible, coming as it does from every stove, furnace, and candle, and further with every breath of a living organism. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Making carbon dioxide from marble and hydrochloric acid. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Plants thus serve to keep the atmosphere free from an excess of carbon dioxide and, in addition, furnish oxygen to the atmosphere. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• From a mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and marble are obtained a salt, water, and carbon dioxide, the desired gas. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The carbon dioxide thus produced within the body escapes into the atmosphere with the breath. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Since every man, woman, and child constantly breathes forth carbon dioxide, the danger in overcrowded rooms is great, and proper ventilation is of vital importance. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• In the most recent methods of manufacture, salt, water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide are made to react. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The question that first arose regarding the composition of the grenades was: Did they contain carbon dioxide gas or any substance that would give up the gas by being heated? William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
• In pure air, carbon dioxide is present in very small proportion, being continually taken from the air by plants in the manufacture of their food. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Another constituent of the air with which we are familiar is carbon dioxide. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Wood and coal, and in fact all animal and vegetable matter, contain carbon, and when these substances burn or decay, the carbon in them unites with oxygen and forms carbon dioxide. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Carbon dioxide is not poisonous, but it cuts off the supply of oxygen, just as water cuts it off from a drowning man. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Upon this the tiny yeast plants in the dough feed, and, as in the case of the wines, ferment the sugar, producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
