Does CO2 float or sink?

CO2 is heavier than the atmosphere. 1 simple experiment will prove that. Take some dry-ice(Frozen CO2) in some hot water. The CO2 vapor will fall to the ground.

Isn't air also composed of NO2 (which is heavier than CO2)?

Wow... no. Air is mainly a mix of N2 and O2.

How can carbon be black but carbon-dioxide/monoxide be transparent?

All gases are transparent. They're too diffuse to reflect light.

Figure it out. 1 mole of air has a density of X. 1 mole of C02 has a density of Y. Given the same temp and pressure of course. Not doing the math.

How the hell do you figure out 1 mole of air?

Congrats on your 5000th post. :beer:

Awww, I didn't even notice.

At least it was wasted on a alcohol reference.

To really describe the behavior, you need to use distribution functions.

More importantly, how hot would your CO2 filled balloon have to be in order to lift you 100 meters?

That's ATOT for ya. I'd say you're lucky to have gotten it at all.

It would be proportional to the size of your ass!

methane is also produced through fermentation

Are you being serious? CFCs have nothing to do with global warming. CO2 does but its density is irrelevant.

They say CFCs kill the Ozone layer. It's too soon to tell.
