Why does the wood turn black when you burn it?
When wood is burned, the carbon in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, leaving behind black carbon residue known as charcoal. This is why the wood turns black when burned.
What oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?
Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air.
What is the process where something is burnt in air?
Combustion.
What happens to wood when it is burnt what is the process called?
When wood is burnt, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion, where it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The heat causes the cellulose and lignin in the wood to break down, releasing volatile gases and solid residues like ash. As the temperature rises, the wood ignites and continues to burn until it is completely consumed or the heat source is removed. This process not only releases energy but also contributes to the carbon cycle.
Why you can't put out a elecctrical fire with water?
With a wood fire, wood gets hot. The wood turns to a gas. Oxygen from the air mixes with the gas from the wood and they create combustion. When water is added, it cools down the wood. It also turns to steam blocking oxygen from the air from getting to the wood. So water does two things. It makes the wood so it will not get hot enough to turn to gas. It stops oxygen from getting to the wood. With an electrical fire, the source of the fire is the electric current. It causes the heat. Pouring water on it will not stop the electric current and stop the heat. It will simply give the electricity more places to go. The first thing to do in case of an electric fire is turn off the electricity.
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
Why is the air rotated or swirled in the burners?

When aluminium metal is burnt in air what does it form?

What is a sounding board?
The sounding board is the part of an instrument which turns the vibrations from one or more bridges into vibrations in the body and air mass of an instrument. In the piano, it is the wood under the strings.

Why was nitrogen referred to as burnt air?
Nitrogen was referred to as "burnt air" because it makes up the majority of the Earth's atmosphere and was originally mistaken for a component that supported combustion. When air is heated, it loses oxygen and primarily consists of nitrogen, giving rise to the term "burnt air."
Can the fuel burnt without air?
Ever heard of oxygen?
