Carbon Dioxide - Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity of Carbon Dioxide gas - CO2 - at temperatures ranging 175 - 6000 K

Specific heat capacity of Carbon Dioxide gas - CO₂ - at temperatures ranging 175 - 6000 K can be found in the table below:

The values above apply to undissociated states. At high temperatures above 1500 K dissociation becomes appreciable and pressure is a significant variable.

• Carbon dioxide gas is produced from the combustion of coal or hydrocarbons or by fermentation of liquids and the breathing of humans and animals.
• Carbon dioxide is at a low concentration in the atmosphere and acts as a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is assimilated by plants and used to produce oxygen.
• Carbon dioxide gas is colorless and heavier than air and has a slightly irritating odor.
• Freezing point is -78.5^oC where it forms carbon dioxide snow or dry ice.
