How much CO2 do different types of gases contain? The air around us, the air we exhale, the gas from the ever popular vinegar + baking soda reaction, and exhaust from my car. I tried to get exhaust from Ms. Zimmerman's Prius, but my funnel didn't fit the tailpipe properly!
We bubbled the gases through water with a pH indicator that will turn from blue to yellow in the presence of carbonic acid (created from CO2). We then determined how much of a dilute ammoina solution was needed to reverse the process and turn the indicator color back to blue.
What do you think happened?
Which gas contained the most and the least CO2?
How does CO2 from automobile exhaust influencet the greenhouse effect and our climate?
