Question

Give four uses of carbon dioxide gas.

Answer 1

Uses of carbon dioxide gas are as follows:
1.Carbon dioxide traps solar radiation and keeps the Earth warm enough.
If it weren’t there in the atmosphere, Earth’s temperature would fall extremely low at night in the absence of solar radiation.
Thus, carbon dioxide is essential in maintaining a temperature that favours the survival of all the organisms on the Earth.
2.Carbon dioxide is essential for green plants to prepare their food by photosynthesis.
3. Carbon dioxide is used in fire extinguishers as it does not support burning.
4. Solid carbon dioxide is known as dry ice and is used as a refrigerant.
