four properties of carbon

Density Carbon dioxide is heavier than air. Its vapour density is 22 (Vapour density of air = 14.4). Hence, it is 1.5 times denser than air. So it tends to move downwards. Certain caves and valleys, which contain carbon dioxide may be fatal to animals, as they ..

1. It is a pale yellow powder. It has strong smell of chlorine. It is soluble in water but a clear solution is never formed due to the presence of impurities. 2. On long standing it undergoes auto-oxidation into calcium chlorate and calcium chloride. 4. On account of the formation of..

(PEP). PEP reacts with CO 2 to form oxaloacetic acid which is reduced by NADPH to form malic acid. The malic acid then reacts with RUBP to form pyruvic acid and PGA. The pyruvic acid is then phosphorylated by ATP to regenerate PEP while PGA is converted to triose phosphate as far as C 3 plants. The..

Carbon forms a large number of fascinating variety of compounds. This is because of its unusual property of catenation in which one carbon unites with the other to form long chains and rings. It is this property, which is responsible for the existence of mil..

Combustibility It is a combustible gas. It burns well in air or oxygen to form carbon dioxide. The formation of carbon dioxide is tested by passing it through a solution of lime wate..

Nature : Carbon dioxide is slightly acidic. It turns blue litmus paper red. During rainy season, blue litmus paper kept open in the laboratory slowly turns red, due to the presence of carbon dioxide in ai..

Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless oily liquid with sickly smell. It is insoluble in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ether, alcohol. Its boiling point is 350 K. The vapours of carbon tetrachloride are inflammable..
