This depends on what fuel you are burning: it must contain (at least some) carbon

A Symbol Equation for burning fuels?

The symbol equation for burning a fuel such as methane (CH4) in oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.


Is gas burning a chemical changing?

Yes, butane burning is a chemical change. The molecule of butane is converted to CO2 and H2O when combusted in oxygen.


Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?

The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO


What does tree produce everyday?

Oxygen and water vapor while alive and CO2 once dead.


What chemicals produce CO2?

carbon, oxygen


Does camphor produce CO2 while burning?

Yes, when camphor burns, it undergoes combustion and produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of the byproducts.


Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?

No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.


What is the symbol equation for graphite burning in oxygen?

Since graphite is basically Carbon C + O2 --> CO2


Does burning produce co2?

If the fuel that is burnt contains hydrocarbons, yes.


What do you get when you burn CH4 in O2?

It is an ignition reaction.It will produce CO2 and water.


What is the chemical equation for coal burning?

The chemical equation for coal burning (combustion) is: C(s) + O2(g) -> CO2(g) + heat. This means solid carbon (coal) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and heat energy.


How do you express reaction between co2 and burning splint?

You can't express that reaction because there isn't one: as CO2 is a well-known fire extinguishing agent, if you put a burning splint in CO2 the splint will go out. And the reason it will go out is CO2 displaces oxygen, which splints need to burn.
