What is a common cause of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete combustion is most commonly caused by lack of oxygen. Partial oxidation can lead to many contaminants being released into the environment.
How can CO be produced from combustion of methane instead of CO2?
If the oxygen is not sufficient carbon monoxide is produced; this is a frequent cause of deadly intoxication.
Can combustion processes cause ozone issues?
Combustion, yes can cause ozone issues. This is due to unburnt hydrocarbons.
Why might it be better to administer combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide rather than pure oxygen?
This invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant. This mode of combustion generates carbon flue gas that is easy to capture, concentrate, and via chemical or biological utilization or ocean or geologic sequestration. Carbon dioxide is believed to cause global warming. The invention also relates to the production of nitrogen from air as a chemical feedstock for the production of ammonia. invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant.

Does oxygen catch fire easily?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.
What will cause oxygen react with to cause combustion?
a hydrocarbon
How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction - without oxygen, you do not have combustion. If you combine a hydrocarbon with oxygen and add heat, you will cause a combustion reaction that results in carbon dioxide and water being formed (provided there was complete combustion).
What will oxygen react to cause combustion?
a hydrocarbon
What reacts with oxygen to cause combustion?
a hydrocarbon
Where does incomplete combustion take place?
Depending on the situation I would say the most likely cause is oversaturation of the fuel or insufficient oxygen.
What is a common cause of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete combustion is most commonly caused by lack of oxygen. Partial oxidation can lead to many contaminants being released into the environment.
Is oxygen a burning gas?
Oxygen, when mixed with a combustible substance, or gas and enough heat, will cause combustion, and is a gas. So it is indeed, a gas that burns.
Give brief descripton of each elements fire oxygen and fuel?
You're looking at a fire triangle. Fire refers to an ignition source, a spark, or similar which will cause the combustion reaction to begin. Fuel refers to the object which will be burned in the reaction. Oxygen is, exactly what it says, Oxygen. Which is required for combustion reactions.
How can CO be produced from combustion of methane instead of CO2?
If the oxygen is not sufficient carbon monoxide is produced; this is a frequent cause of deadly intoxication.
Which of the following can cause a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water?
Excessive plant debris
How can you heat flammable liquids?
Presuming you mean in a fashion that will not cause combustion, the only sure way to heat a flammable liquid without causing combustion is to heat it in a sealed environment that has little or no free oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion to occur; without oxygen, there is no combustion. A less safe method would be to gradually heat the liquid, such as by storing it in a greenhouse. However, flammable liquids may combust even when heated slowly and should never be heated in an oxygenated environment past their recommended maximum safe temperatures.
What is sooty and non sooty flame and why it is occurred?
sooty flame refers to the flame produces after burning, which shows incomplete combustion, i.e, insufficient supply of oxygen.
