When something is burned (such as fuel, which contains carbon), a reaction takes place. Light, heat and physical force (in the case of an engine) are produced and oxygen is added. Recall that matter is not created nor destroyed, only converted. So when we add oxygen, it combines with the carbon to produce either carbon monoxide (one carbon one oxygen) or carbon dioxide (one carbon two oxygen).
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide a result of combustion?
Carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of carbon itself or organic compounds.
What is formed by the complete combustion of carbon?
carbon dioxide
What is the main product of complete combustion?
The main products of complete combustion are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
What are the product of complete combustion?
carbon dioxide and water
What are the products of combustion of a marshmallow?
If the combustion is complete, carbon dioxide and water.
What is the two products of the complete combustion of octane?
The two products of the complete combustion of octane are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
What does combustion form?
The resulting products of the complete combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
What are the two products made during the complete combustion?
Mainly CO2 and H2O - Carbon Dioxide and Water. (Also heat, depending on if you are including it or not.) This can also be shown as an equation: Fuel + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water (and heat)
A complete combustion always produces which two compounds?
A complete combustion always produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the final products.
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process releases energy in the form of heat and light. Additionally, combustion may also produce small amounts of other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide.
