I am a science hobbyist and working on a paper to illustrate the impact of CO2 on Global Warming.
Question – What is the Storage Capacity in joules, of one molecule of CO2 @ 20c/68f/293k. In other words, what is the maximum amount of IR energy that one molecule of CO2 can store at this temperature.
The mass of one molecule of CO2 is 7.308 x 10^-23g or 7.308 x 10^-26kg and the Specific Heat Capacity of CO2 is 834 at constant pressure (J kg-1K-1)
In essence, I am looking for both the value and the formula for which to use in order to calculate this.
For the cherry on top, how long can it store this amount of energy
