Hello, I'm Christian.

I'm a high school chemistry teacher in the Chicago suburbs and enjoy (almost) every minute of it.

I spend my free time gaming, coding personal projects, and reading sci-fi.

@codepuppy CO2 is absurdly stable, which is why it's a combustion product and why Venus is full of it.

Each C=O bond in a CO2 molecule has a bond enthalpy of 804.4 kJ/mol. That works out to 8.342 eV so photodissociation would need a photon with λ > 148.63 nm. That's scary far UV.

A krypton excimer laser (146 nm) could break it, but a good catalyst would be far more efficient. :)
