For each litre of petrol used, the CO2 produced from the exhaust is about 2.5 kg. A typical annual use of 1200 litres of petrol produces about 3 tons of CO2.
Cars produce almost 1% of all CO2. Nature, through rotting vegetation, produces 95%. However, vegetation absorbs an equal mass of CO2 out of the atmosphere while growing. Cars do not do that.
Yes, cars do produce carbon Di-oxide.. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) originally viewed carbon dioxide as a product of "perfect" combustion, but now views CO2 as a pollution concern. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps the earth's heat and contributes to Climate Change.

∙ 13y agoYes Carbon dioxide as well as carbon monoxide are present in car exhaust. Carbon dioxide if of less concern the carbon monoxide. A catalytic converter is used to reduce the amount of these chemicals and is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. First widely introduced on series-production automobiles in the U.S. market for the 1975 model year to comply with tightening EPAregulations on auto exhaust, catalytic converters are still most commonly used in motor vehicle exhaust systems.

∙ 7y agoYes. Cars burn hydrocarbon fuel, which produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water vapor.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoLight vehicles, such as cars, produce around 30 percent of the carbon dioxide being released in the United States. Each gallon of gas burned produces 24 pounds of carbon dioxide.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYes, carbon dioxide and water mostly. Some carbon monoxide too, usually.

Why has carbon dioxide concentration risen?
because they is more and more cars,buses,train in the world and loads off gasses Such as fumes
What is the equation for carbon plus carbon dioxide - carbon monoxide?
Have you ever read about the tragic accidents that sometimes happen due to the fumes from gas heaters? If the flue is blocked and the fumes can't escape, toxic carbon monoxide builds up in the room and can easily kill. Carbon monoxide is produced because, in the limited space inside a gas heater (or a car engine), there is not enough oxygen to completely oxidize the hydrocarbon fuels.It is called incomplete combustion. As well as carbon dioxide and water, carbon monoxide (CO) is formed as the hydrocarbon burns.(http://www.patana.ac.th/parents/curriculum/Chemistry/units/LR1401.html)(hydrocarbon) + O2 = CO + H2O... then balance this equation with your hydrocarbonhope this has helped you :)Have you ever read about the tragic accidents that sometimes happen due to the fumes from gas heaters?

What is present in the smoke and fumes given off?
carbon dixode
Which two gases in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans?
The two gases in exhaust fumes that are harmful to humans are carbon monoxide and nitrogen. Nitrogen is not as dangerous as the carbon monoxide, because the atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen.
What chemicals are air pollutants?
The five common air pollutants are: Ozone Carbon Monoxide Nitrogen Oxides Sulfur Dioxides Lead
What are car engine fumes?
Fumes which are a byproduct of combustion within the engine block, most commonly Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide.
Does an oil burning furnace release carbon dioxide fumes?
Yes, it releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and some Carbon Monoxide (CO)
What are some things that pollute your air?
Carbon Dioxide Exhaust Fumes
What gases are in car exhaust fumes?
Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide are contained in car exhaust fumes. Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that if too much is breathed in, you die.
When a catalytic converter removes carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides from exhaust fumes what does it turn them into?
Carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
What fumes are produced by a slurry pit?
Ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide and methane
What happens when you put a flame into carbon dioxide fumes?
The flame will go out as it is deprived of oxygen.
Can carbon monoxide be used in fire extinguisher?
Not really. Carbon monoxide fumes are toxic and it is cheaper and easier to produce (and use) carbon dioxide instead. Additionally, carbon monoxide is flammable. It reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
Are the fumes of Bi Carb mixed with vinegar harmful?
A mixture of sodium ethanoate, water and cardon dioxide is going to be produced. Carbon dioxide can be harmful so I'd recommend not inhaling the fumes produced
What do car exhaust fumes contain?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, water vapor, oxygen, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Why does your car have bad gas fumes?
it has fumes because when you drive your car is burning the petrol/diesel you fill up with which results in it producing nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides.
What is by a lit candle?
fire a single flame, light, exhaust fumes from the candlewax consumed, carbon dioxide
