About this listen

In this episode of Chemical Discoveries, we dive into the story of carbon dioxide—the "fixed air" that plays a vital role in Earth's ecosystems and human life. Explore how Joseph Black's experiments in the 18th century uncovered this invisible gas, its properties, and its connection to processes like respiration and combustion. Learn how this discovery laid the foundation for modern chemistry and our understanding of the Earth's atmosphere. Join us as we unravel the history and significance of carbon dioxide!
