What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?

 a. It is a colorless gas with a foul odor

which is combustible.
 b. It is a gas formed by the chemical
combination of sulfur and oxygen.
 c. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless,
combustible gas.
 d. Carbon dioxide is a colorless and
odorless gas formed by the chemical
combination of carbon and oxygen.

How is carbon dioxide formed in a
mine?
 a. By combustion, by breathing of miners
and animals.
 b. By the decay of vegetable matter.
 c. By the oxidation of coal by chemical
action of acid water on carnonates.
 d. All the above.

2
 What is a product of complete
combustion?
 a. Carbon Monoxide.
 b. Hydrogen.
 c. Nitrogen.
 d. Carbon dioxide.

3
 What is the specific gravity of
carbon dioxide?
 a. Five hundred fifty-five one-thousands
(0.555).
 b. One (1.000)
 c. Nine hundred sixty-five one-thousands
(0.967).
 d. One and five hundred twenty-nine one-
thousands (1.529).

4
 What is the weight of one (1) cubic foot of
carbon dioxide at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and
30.00 inches mercury pressure?

 a. Seven hundred sixty-five ten thousandths

(0.765) pounds.
 b. Eleven hundred seventy ten thousandths
(0.1170) pounds.
 c. Eight hundred forty-six ten thousandths
(0.846) pounds.
 d. Four hundred twenty-four ten thousandths
(0.0424) pounds.

5
Is carbon dioxide combustible?
 a. Yes, it can explode at any temperature.
 b. Yes, it can explode only at high
temperatures.
 c. No.
 d. Yes, but only at low temperatures.

6
Where might concentrated accumulations of
carbon dioxide ordinarily be found?
 a. Near the roof.
 b. Near the floor, in inadequately
ventilated places.
 c. Along the belt lines.
 d. In well ventilated places.

7
 What effect does carbon dioxide
have upon life?
 a. Lung ventilation is decreased.
 b. It has no effect.
 c. Lung ventilation is increased as carbon
dioxide increases. When five percent (5%) of
carbon dioxide is present lung ventilation has
increased three hundred percent (300%) and
breathing is laborious and continued exposure
is injurious.
 d. It is extremely poisonous.

8

by the body during exhalation?
 a. Approximately 2.6 to 6.6 percent.
 b. Approximately 26 to 66 percent.
 c. Approximately 16 to 20 percent.
 d. Approximately 1.6 to 2.0 percent.
