Burning is often incomplete, in which case there is carbon monoxide as well as carbon dioxide. Burning also releases heat. Carbon is seldom burned in a chemically pure form. Impurities are released in the form of ash, or other gases such as sulfur dioxide.

Does photosynthesis contribute to the addition of carbon to the atmosphere?

Yes, photosynthesis does contribute to the addition of carbon to the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. When plants are burned or decompose, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

No, burning hydrogen does not produce carbon dioxide. When hydrogen is burned, it reacts with oxygen to form water vapor, releasing energy in the process. Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon-containing fuels, such as fossil fuels, are burned.
