What burns to form carbon monoxide?
Any carbon-contaning fuel can produce carbon monoxide when burned; gasoline, natural gas, diesel, wood, and paper are common ones.
Which fuel does not burn without smoke?
Char or charcoal is the remaining portion of the wood material that contains unburnable minerals and pure carbon. Charcoal fire emits no smoke as it is the residue of the wood as carbon without the gases
Can carbon dioxide come from wood burning furnaces?
Yes, however, wood can be carbon neutral.The process of burning wood also does not emit any additional carbon dioxide than the natural biodegradation of the wood if it were left to rot on the forest floor. Over the course of a tree's life it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then releases this carbon dioxide when it either decomposes naturally or is burned. For this reason, no extra CO2 is added to the atmosphere, it simply releases the carbon dioxide that was previously accumulated back into the environment. Wood is a very environmentally friendly source of fuel because it is carbon neutral. Fossil fuels on the other hand, are not carbon neutral.
How is carbon monoxide produced?
carbon monoxide is produced by the burning of many different types of fuels.
How is respiration similar to burning wood?
As we all know , in respiration we intake oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide, for burning also oxygen is needed. In spite of oxygen wood cant be burned and along with burning, the gas coming out from wood is Carbon-dioxide. Oxygen combines with carbon
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
Which fuel produces the most energy wood or coal?
Per pound : coal. Its pure carbon, wood is a mixture of organic substances (including water).

What absorbs oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide?
Carbon oxidation/reduction. The carbon typically comes from tree wood (eg a forest fire) or fossil fuel (coal or oil).
Can carbon dioxide come from wood burning furnaces?
Yes, however, wood can be carbon neutral.The process of burning wood also does not emit any additional carbon dioxide than the natural biodegradation of the wood if it were left to rot on the forest floor.

How is carbon monoxide produced?
carbon monoxide is produced by the burning of many different types of fuels.
Is fuel consumption harmful to environment?
burning carbon fuels like wood,coal& pettroleum relaese unburnt carbon particles to the environment.THEY sometimes causes Respiratory diseases such as asthma.
Why carbon is realized when you burn wood?
Carbon is present in the wood- left behind if not totally burned into carbon dioxide.
How is respiration similar to burning wood?
As we all know , in respiration we intake oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide, for burning also oxygen is needed. In spite of oxygen wood cant be burned and along with burning, the gas coming out from wood is Carbon-dioxide. Oxygen combines with carbon
Does renewable energy release co2?
The well known types, Solar, Wind, Water do not. However, wood is a renewable form of fuel that when burned would produce CO2. This carbon dioxide does not add to global warming, as it was removed recently from the atmosphere while the wood was growing. So wood burning is carbon neutral.
Is wood fire burning a chemical reaction?
Yes. It is a combustion reaction in which an organic fuel, in this case wood, produces carbon dioxide and water, and a great deal of heat.
