Uses And Properties Of Chicago CO2 Gas

By Liliana Mills


Chicago CO2 is the most pure for all uses in various fields. CO2 occurs naturally in the atmospheric air. Its chemical formula is CO2. It has two oxygen atoms, which are covalently joined to a single carbon atom. This compound has various forms like dry ice, and gas and among many other forms. The gas has many commercial, industrial, and domestic applications.

CO2 is among green house gases applied in the growth of flowers and pyrethrum in conditioned chambers. It is usually packaged in special containers for extinguishing fires. It is used in extinguishing fires as it is denser compared to air and blankets the source of fire blocking off oxygen, which supports burning. CO2 does not support burning, though it completely burns to form water and carbon (II) oxide. It is tasteless and odorless in small concentration.

This gas occurs naturally and can also be produced artificially. When hydrocarbons are burned is adequate supply of air they liberate carbon dioxide gas. This is the same case with coal. Fermenting liquids produce CO2. Human and animal breath contains traces of the gas. Geysers and erupting volcanoes may equally emit this element into the atmosphere though it may be polluted. Areas with gas and oil deposits are also emit this substance in large quantities.

The gaseous state of this compound has several negative effects among them being unpredictable weather pattern, global warming, and acidification of oceans. Acidification of oceans is brought about when CO2 gas dissolves in sea water resulting into weak carbonic acid. Being a green house gas it is responsible for global warming as it retains a large percentage of heat in the air preventing its escape into the stratosphere. The excess CO2 may be cleared from the air through a process called carbon cycle.

The excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is sieved out by a continuous known as the carbon cycle. This filtration process is done by trees. For trees to photosynthesize they require this gas. They take in carbon dioxide gas and release O2. Given that global warming is considered a worldwide disaster a number of states have formed special ministries, which deal with the preservation of the ecosystem. These governmental departments are charged with the responsibility of conserving water sources, and rallying citizens to plant more trees.

Most leavening agents contain this compound in various forms such as powder, fine particles or liquid. Some produce this gas that is responsible for raising dough when exposed to high temperature or heated. Baking soda and powder are some of the products that contain the compound. The sugars contained in the dough are fermented by yeast leading to production of carbon (IV) oxide.

This gas is categorized among non-poisonous gases, though in concentrations nearing 1 percent it may cause drowsiness. The higher the concentration of up to seven percent the more the effects ranging from suffocation, unconsciousness, headaches, hearing and visual problems. These signs are experienced within a few minutes or after an hour subject to the concentration.

Chicago CO2 has several uses given its purity. It is used in commercial applications such as winemaking to classroom experiments. Companies located in Chicago pack this gas in specifically designed containers for varied uses, which supply to their outlet stores for purchase. More information about such firms is accessible on their company blogs or websites over the internet.
