Combustion, or burning, of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases extra carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming, and this extra amount is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with.

Is carbon dioxide a result of combustion?
Carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of carbon itself or organic compounds.
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
Does methane on combustion produces carbon black?
no it means it was an incomplete combustion causing pure Carbon (carbon monoxide or sut).
What is formed by the complete combustion of carbon?
carbon dioxide
What two products are a result of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons?
Soot (carbon) and carbon monoxide - as opposed to full combustion which results in water and carbon dioxide
Is one result of combustion carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion. It cannot undergo combustion.

Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
What are conditions for combustion?
carbon monoxide and carbon soot
What is formed by the complete combustion of carbon?
carbon dioxide
What is combustion and how does it effect the carbon cycle?
combustion is the process of burning something. It adds a lot more carbon to the air.
What two products are a result of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons?
Soot (carbon) and carbon monoxide - as opposed to full combustion which results in water and carbon dioxide
What are the products of combustion of a marshmallow?
If the combustion is complete, carbon dioxide and water.
Does carbon dioxide support the combustion of fuels such as wood?
It does not support combustion...
In a combustion reaction carbon is used to make reactants burn?
No, in a combustion reaction carbon is not used to make reactants burn.
