Answer:

There's an experiment that you can try to see if carbon dixide is heavier than air.

Step-by-step explanation:

At room temperature, carbon dioxide has higher density (ρ = 1.98 kg·m -3) than air (ρ = 1.29 kg·m -3). The density of gas, however, significantly depends on its temperature. Carbon dioxide produced by burning has higher temperature than the surrounding air.

Why is CO2 heavier than the air?

Short answer is CO2 is heavier than ambient air, but it does not drift to the ground as there is a lot of mixing going on in ambient air. ... Carbon dioxide, also known by the chemical formula CO2, has a higher density than the other gases found in air, which makes CO2 heavier than the air.
