Hi y'all, can any-one on this forum tell me witch is heavier D.I.Y. CO2 or
atmospheric air (air we breathe)? It has to do with an air-space at the top of
my D.I.Y. CO2 setup. I dont know if I should vent it or ignore it T.I.A. to any
and all who reply P.S. this is not a trol

With thanks and Regards Art

CO2 is heavier than air. If you gently release CO2 into the bottom of a
container of air, the co@ will mostly stay on the bottom. There are caves
in volcanic areas that fill with CO2 and can be deadly, it's said.
However, a disturbance will mix the CO2 into the air. But I'm not sure
what this has to do with the air space in your DIY setup. At a guess, I'd
say the air space will make no difference.
