Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered important new clues in the mystery of how an ...

What if a machine could suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, run it through a series of chemical reactions, and essentially spit out industrially useful plastic?

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that urea—an essential building block for life—could have formed on the early ...

Bubbling carbon dioxide, which is found in flue gases, through an acid solution dramatically increases the durability of membranes used in carbon dioxide reduction reactions. One particular ...

Methanol is a vital building block for numerous everyday products, including plastics, chemicals, paints, and solvents. It is ...

Students explore whether carbon dioxide from other sources, namely carbonated water and a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar, can also make a solution acidic. Students then observe a ...

Reactions of carbon dioxide. Reaction with water. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form the weak acid, carbonic acid, H 2 CO 3: CO 2 + H 2 O → H 2 CO 3.

American researchers have developed a new method for capturing CO2 with its subsequent transformation into metal oxalates, which can be used as precur ...

Now, carbon dioxide has three atoms, like water, but those three atoms are arranged in a line, like oxygen or nitrogen. Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. So just like in water, the ...

The natural process of rock weathering could be emitting as much carbon dioxide (CO 2) into the air as the world’s volcanoes.A study published October 4 in the journal Nature finds that natural ...

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on ...
