A tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. It takes 40 years for one tree to absorb 1 ton of carbon dioxide. A half an acre of trees could absorb 1 ton in approximately 1 year.
It varies depending on the type of tree, age of tree, location etc., But, an useful ballpark number is about 5-6 trees over a period of 30 years would be sufficient to offset 1 ton of CO2 emissions.
Emission of one ton of CO2 is avoided by growing 40 tropical trees for one year.
Does that answer your question? If it doesn't, then you can refer to the links (below) for more information. The calculator site coverts one ton of CO2 to some easy to understand units.
About 50% of a tree is carbon. In one day a tree grows a certain amount (during the growing season). The amount depends on the size of the tree. So the tree will absorb an amount of carbon about half the weight of any new growth. This could be as little as half a kilogram, or it could be 10 kg or more.
All trees eliminate it from the atmosphere. They, like all green plants, absorb it during photosynthesis.

Carbon Monoxide: is a colorless, odorless, tastless gas that when inhaled is toxic to humans. Carbon Monoxide: is a byproduct of a rich mixture fire, Burning wood, Gas fires, etc. Your answer is No! Trees use Carbon Dioxide which is what you release when you exhale. So-Live long.
Yes, for the most part, all life as we (humanity) understand it, produces carbon dioxide. HOWEVER, Plants generally produce a NET NEGATIVE amount of carbon dioxide. Animals breathe in Oxygen, use this to burn stored energy and perform work within the body, and in the process bond the oxygen to carbon producing carbon dioxide which is exhaled. Plants do the same thing. they absorb oxygen, and use it in the process of burning energy to fuel growth, repair, produce fruit, etc. The misconception is common that plants do not use oxygen and do not create carbon dioxide. This stems from the process of photosynthesis, wherein the plant absorbs carbon dioxide from its surrounding atmosphere, uses it in converting light energy to a form usable by the plant, and in so doing separates the carbon and oxygen atoms, 'breaking' the carbon dioxide. The oxygen is then released back into the environment, In most plants, they consume more carbon dioxide and produce more oxygen than the reverse. As a result, the plant takes in more carbon dioxide than it expels, and as such 'effectively' (but not literally) producing no carbon dioxide.
Forests store carbon, sequestering it from the atmosphere. Deforestation means the timber may be used and eventually converted to carbon dioxide, or left to rot, which also means that it is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Either way, deforestation contributes to increasing carbon dioxide levels and consequently the global warming process. More detail: Deforestation is the cutting down of trees to improve the value of tracts of land by making space for farms usually. Trees are a large source of oxygen and also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. by cutting down trees, you limit the amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the air and, usually, the trees are burnt after being cut down in a 'chop and burn' method, this releases the carbon in the tree which reacts with oxygen because of the heat and moving into the atmosphere. As of such, not only does deforestation remove sources of oxygen and carbon dioxide sinks (a 'reservoir' of CO2) it also adds excess oxygen into the atmosphere. Forests are a strong "carbon sink." Through a process called photosynthesis, forests consume carbon dioxide and, using energy from sunlight, 'eat' the carbon atom in the carbon dioxide molecule, using it to create sugars and other nutrients and releasing the leftover oxygen. While all plants do this, tall, dense forests are the most efficient in terms of how much carbon a square acre of forest can remove from the atmosphere. Deforestation -- the widespread destruction of forest -- reduces the planet's ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere. This exacerbates the problem of carbon dioxide emissions because it lowers how much carbon can be removed from the atmosphere.
Forests are made up of trees and other plants. These use carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas that is created by industry) and converts it into food and oxygen. The more forests there are the more carbon dioxide gets converted back into oxygen.Trees are tremendous devices for capturing and storing carbon. If we were to ask our top scientists and engineers to create a highly efficient and environmentally friendly way to remove carbon from the atmosphere. They could do no better than to invent a tree. Trees use photosynthesis to capture and concentrate carbon, removing trace CO2 gas from the air (

How many morning a trees per acre
Deciduous trees are generally thought to inhale more carbon dioxide than other trees. It's because deciduous are usually broad leaved, so they are more efficient in photosynthesis. Here is a list of some trees that take in a lot of carbon dioxide: English Oak Common Lime Horse Chestnut Common Alder
There are as many trees as you want to have, the trees don't make the acre, the measurement of the land does...
After absorbing 48 pounds of carbon dioxide a year, a tree is capable of providing enough oxygen for two people over the course of a year. An acre of trees can produce enough carbon dioxide to equal a car driving over 26,000 miles.
This depends on how many feet the trees are spaced apart. If the trees are spaced about a foot apart, then there is going to be about 43,560 trees in one acre.
