Co2?

What happens if you put a co2 container in a whipped cream dispenser and open it?

what happens if you inhale co2?

Inhaling too much of any gas that does not contain oxygen is deadly. A condition known as hypercapnia(too much carbon dioxide) occurs. The human body would respond by hyperventilating, sensing it was low on oxygen (hypoxemia), and the person would become dizzy, panicky, with bluish skin, eventually passing out and after about 4 minutes or so, brain death from lack of oxygen will occur, in addition to massive organ failure if the CO2 exposure was prolonged.

Inhaling too much CO2 produces more H2CO3 in the blood.

CO2 + H2O <===> H2CO3

The H2CO3 ionizes to produce more H+ in the blood.
H2CO3 <===> H+ + HCO31-

More H+ in the blood makes the blood more acidic; the pH is lowered below the normal value of 7.35. If it is lowered too much, a person may get acidosis.

See the following web site for information on acidosis:

I think Foolsgold got the A+ for his project on "the negative implications of inhaling too much CO2"

Just in case you missed his response he said "nothing and dont do it"
