class CO2(Gas):
"""
A class representing carbon dioxide gas and its thermodynamic properties.
Attributes
----------
tag : str
Identifier for the gas type ('CO2')
molecular_mass : float
Molecular mass of CO2 in kg/kmol
gas_specific_constant : float
Specific gas constant in m²/s²-K
composition : Container
Chemical composition of the gas
- CO2 : float
Mass fraction of carbon dioxide (1.0 for pure CO2)
Notes
-----
This class implements basic thermodynamic properties for carbon dioxide gas.
All properties are for pure CO2 at standard conditions.
**Definitions**
'Specific Gas Constant'
The individual gas constant for CO2, equal to the universal gas constant divided
by the molecular mass of CO2
'Molecular Mass'
The mass of one mole of CO2 molecules
