Burning produces smoke (carbon) and gasses, such as Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide, along with water vapor. Ash is left after the wood is burned. We use our wood ash as fertilizer in our garden, for our grapevines, etc.

What happens when you combine magnesium dioxide and a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle?

When you combine magnesium dioxide with a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle, the magnesium dioxide undergoes a chemical reaction in which it decomposes to form magnesium oxide and oxygen gas. The burning wood splint acts as a source of heat to initiate the reaction. The oxygen gas produced can be collected in the gas generating bottle.

Why does water put out burning wood?

The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.
