That depends.
If it is the CO2 level on an arterial blood gas test then it means the person is breathing at over twice the normal rate and likely has something very wrong with them.
Most likely you are looking at a chemistry lab report from more routine blood testing. In this case the "CO2" actually refers the bicarbonate level. Often, this is a lab error and will be normal on re-testing. If it is accurate it reflects a metabolic problem, most commonly a problem with the way the kidney regulates blood acidity.

What is Carbon Dioxide's Atomic Mass?
First of all, carbon dioxide is a molecule and hence the question should be: What is the molecular mass of carbon dioxide? and the answer is 12 + (2 x 16) = 48
How many protons does carbon dioxide have Considering that the two oxygen atoms has 16.?
Since Carbon dioxide is CO2 then there are two oxygens and one carbon, the number of protons in CO2 is 16 + 6 (atomic number of carbon) = 22. It has 22 protons.
What is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
What is the total number of electrons shown in this Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
How many moles of carbon are there from the original sample of 11.0 grams of carbon dioxide and 4.50 grams of water with a combustion of 7.50 grams?
Look up the molecular weight of carbon dioxide in the periodic table. The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2, which means one atom of carbon and two atoms or oxygen per molecule of carbon dioxide. Carbon has molecular weight of 12. Oxygen molecular weight is 16. Total 12+16+16= 44 11 grams/44 grams/mole=0.25 moles of carbon The grams of water and combustion of 7.5 grams are totally irrelevant. They are only given to possibly confuse you.
What is the carbon footprint of the average American?
The carbon footprint of the average American is around 16 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
What gas do human and animals breathe out?
We breath in air (left), breath out (right) which is approx;Nitrogen 79% -----------------------Nitrogen 79%Oxygen 20% -------------------------Oxygen 16%Argon 1%--------------------------------- Argon 1%Carbon dioxide 0.0384% ---carbon dioxide 4%We breath out air with a higher level of carbon dioxide and a lower level of oxygen; breathing also results in loss of water from the body, exhaled air has a relative humidity of 100% (with trace's of methanol and other organic compounds generated inside the body).humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxideCabon dioxide
What is the percent by mass of carbon in 44g of carbon dioxide?
The molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44 g/mol. Carbon has a molar mass of 12 g/mol and oxygen has a molar mass of 16 g/mol. So, in 44g of CO2, there are 12g of carbon. Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in 44g of carbon dioxide is (12g / 44g) x 100 = 27.3%.
How many electrons are in Carbon Dioxide?
Total electrons in CO2 are 6+16 = 22
Is carbon dioxide the only waste product removed by the lungs?
Exhaled air is made up of nitrogen 79%, oxygen 16%, 0.04% carbon dioxide and other gases 5.96%
How much oxygen and carbon dioxide is the air that we breathe out?
The air we breathe out contains about 16% oxygen and 4% carbon dioxide. The rest is mainly nitrogen and trace amounts of other gases.
What do you breathe in and what do you breathe out?
Oxygen in, Carbon Dioxide out.Another answerBreathing breathes in the atmosphere: not the whole atmosphere obviously, but its composition. Breathing in occurs because of the necessity of oxygen-entrance and breathing out occurs because of the necessity of carbon dioxide-exit.The air consists of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide and equally tiny percentages of other gases. We breathe in this 79% nitrogen and breathe out an equal percentage. We breathe in 21% oxygen and breathe out 16% oxygen. We breathe in 0.04% carbon dioxide and breathe out 4-5% carbon dioxide.
