No. CO2 is a product of combustion. If the concept that LeChatelier proposed is used, the CO2 actually gets in the way of the combustion reaction (burning).

Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.
Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?
This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.
How can greenhouse gases be reversed?
We need to find sources of renewable energy to generate electricity and drive our transport. At present all this is done largely by burning fossil fuels, which releases long-held carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We also need to plant forests all over the world, which will absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, release the oxygen and store the carbon.
Are humans causing greenhouse gases?
There are natural greenhouse gases of water vapor and carbon dioxide that have kept the earth warm for millions of years. Humans are not causing them.But the greenhouse gases that are contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming are being emitted by the following human actions.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and to generate electricity.Deforestation. We need trees to suck carbon dioxide out of the air.Cattle raising. Forests have been cut down for pasture and the animals belch methane (a greenhouse gas 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide).
Why should burning fuels always be given plenty of air?
Carbon + the oxygen in the air = carbon dioxcide. I would say you should have a fresh suply of air so the fire doesn't go out or you don't smother youself.
Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.
Why do you need to remove Co2 when you burn fuels?
Carbon dioxide is one of the main pollutants causing global warming. By removing CO2 in the first place, a minimal amount is released into the atmosphere during the process of burning fuels.
What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.
What does carbon dioxide need to burn?
Fire...I'm in middle school, and I know that... >=D
How can you remove global warming?
people need to recycle, and reduse carbon dioxide, reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use,
Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?
This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.
What gas do you need to make things burn?
Oxygen. Fuels need that to burn.
What do plants need from animals?
Carbon dioxide.
This it the type of gas that plants need to make food?
Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is a gas
Why there is need to conserve energy?
There is no need to conserve energy as such but there is a pressing need to conserve the type of energy that comes from forming chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen. This process produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. This process in itself is OK provided it takes place as part of some short-term carbon cycle because the carbon dioxide is broken down again by photosynthesis in plants. What is damaging is to burn carbon that was separated out of atmospheric carbon dioxide millions of years ago, because this puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which natural mechanisms are unable to cope with, on account of its sheer mass coming in a short time. This is why burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas are damaging to the environment. A good example of what global warming can do is the planet Venus, where the atmosphere is 93% carbon dioxide and the surface temperature is 400-500 degrees C.
When you excise your body need more carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
Why we need the carbon?
Carbon is the element of the life and fossil fuels.
