The opposite compound in the carbon cycle is carbon dioxide. (We breathe in air, remove the oxygen, breathe out carbon dioxide.)
The opposites of reactions that use oxygen (aerobic) are those that don't (anaerobic).

If you say 'oxygen gas supports combustion' are you talking about a chemical or physical reaction?
Combustion is a hemical reaction.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the?
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Is oxygen one result of combustion?
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
How are the property the compound water different from the propertys of elements h and o?
hydrogen is a highly inflammable gas, and oxygen supports combustion but its compound H2O (water) is completely the opposite as it puts out the fire.
What is combustion compared to?
Combustion is a burning, an oxydation reaction.
What is normal and abnormal combustion?
Normal Combustion is said when there is no Content left after burning of fuel. Abnormal Combustion is just the opposite. Ankur Bakshi
Why fossil fuel combustion is a one way path?
Combustion is a one way path, or irreversible reaction. It is not possible to have an opposite reaction to re-create oil from the many compounds that result from combustion. See link.
What is the reason for having a combustion chamber on a rocket?
A combustion chamber is where combustion occurs in a controlled fashion. Because the basic idea of a rocket is burning fuels and directing them in the opposite direction to that of travel, a controlled burning - as happens in the combustion chamber - is exactly what a rocket needs to work.
What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
What causes the forward motion of a rocket?
The force of the combustion pushes on the interior of the rocket. The combustion releases through the rear exhaust, causing the rocket to move forward.
What is the difference between spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion?
differentiate rapid combustion to spontaneous combustion
What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What is the most important difference between an international combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What kind of force is it when rockets escape from gravity?
If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

In what type of reaction is water always a product?
Combustion reactions
How does a DTSI engine works?
DTSI engines are normal four stroke engines but use Two Spark plugs in place of one for better combustion of compressed fuel. the two spark plugs are located at the two opposite ends of the cylinder. this particular orientation of the spark plugs provide better and faster combustion,as in the single spark engine based design the flame has to travel the whole combustion chamber but in this case the flame travels from both direction so the combustion time is smaller.
How does heat combustion of paraffin compare to heat combustion of propane?
