What is the name products of the combustion of sulfur?
Combustion of sulfur produce sulfur oxides.
What is the heat combution of magnesium oxide?
the combustion of magnesium oxide is carbon+sulfur_carbonate sulfur
How can you convert fire into electricity?
Not exactly. Fire is superheated gas that becomes luminescent. That luminescence is fire and not the heat energy produced from combustion. Combustion is the rapid oxidation of hydrogen, carbon and sulfur by the application of heat which is self sustaining. The heat generated by combustion is what is converted to mechanical energy then converted to electricity.
How does spontaneous combustion occur?
It is caused by a build up of sulfur in a person's body that eventually reacts to increased body heat.
How does heat combustion of paraffin compare to heat combustion of propane?
how does the heat of combustion of propane compare to the heat of combustion of paraffin wax
Combustion produces heat and new chemical substances called what?
Combustion of organic materials and fossil fuels produce essentially carbon dioxide, water and some other gases as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, etc. Of course the combustion (an oxidation chemical reaction) is an exothermic reaction and produce heat.
What is the formula for finding heat formation?
Heat of combustion of a hydrocarbon is based on the reaction: fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water (unless you have some nitrogen or sulfur in the fuel, in which case it gets a little more complex) The heat of formation of O2 is zero (O2 is the reference state) The heat of formation of CO2 is the same as the heat of combustion for carbon The heat of formation of H2O is the same as the heat of combustion for hydrogen To find the heat of formation of the fuel, you subtract the heat of combustion from the heats of formation - (weighted with the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced reaction equation).
What is the heat of combustion for decane?
The heat of combustion for decane is 6779 kJ / mol. Heat of combustion increases with chain length of alkanes.
What is the experimental molar heat of combustion?
The experimental molar heat of combustion is the heat released by the total combustion of a substance, determined in a calorimeter.
What is formed when fuels are combusted?
The constituents of fossil fuels are N.O.C.A.S.H.. Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, ash, sulfur and hydrogen. The compounds formed when these are combusted are: carbon monoxide (incomplete combustion) carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide nitric oxide, nitrous oxide (high temperature chemical catalysis) [not all combustion] Ozone (smog) O3 molecule (chemical catalysis) Water Ash residue As well as a few other lesser compounds created from catalysing molecules under poor combustion conditions. (formaldehyde is a common one) *chemical catalysis in this case means chemical compounds that are created by combining compounds under the heat of the combustion and not by actually combusting the material. Catalysed materials absorb heat from the combustion process, thus are regarded as a heat loss in the energy cycle.
What are pollutants emitted by an internal combustion engine?
carbon monoxide, due to improper combustion Hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides Also, if the fuel contains sulfur, oxides of sulfur
How sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide is form?
They could be formed by the oxidation / combustion of sulfur and nitrogen respectively
