süsinikdioksideks

Süsinikdioksiid (CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a colorless gas with a faint but sharp odor, and it is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere. Süsinikdioksiid plays a vital role in many natural processes. It is a byproduct of respiration in animals and plants, as well as a product of combustion and decomposition. Photosynthesis in plants utilizes süsinikdioksiid from the atmosphere, converting it into organic compounds and releasing oxygen.

Atmospheric süsinikdioksiid acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat from the sun and contributing to the Earth's temperature regulation. While essential for maintaining a habitable climate, increased concentrations of süsinikdioksiid, primarily due to human activities like the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are a major contributor to global warming and climate change. The chemical formula for süsinikdioksiid is CO2. It can be found in various forms, including as a component of volcanic gases and in dissolved form in water bodies. Industrially, süsinikdioksiid is used in applications such as carbonation of beverages, fire extinguishers, and as a refrigerant (dry ice).
