Does the wood burn or the vapors?
Both. Heated wood gives off gasses that burn. Charcoal (carbon) will also burn.
Why toluene is burn without fume?
Toluene is burn without fume because t is made of pure carbon. Charcoal fire has no smoke because of the wood carbon.
What happens to the atoms of the wood when you burn the wood?
When you burn a wood, the volatile gases present in the wood heat up to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The compound molecules break apart, followed by the reintegration of the atoms with oxygen, as well as carbon dioxide and other substances. After the burning process, the water in the wood is lost, and the only components that remain are the noncombustible ones, including carbon, potassium, and calcium. ----- The wood is destructively distilled. Molecules of cellulose are broken down to carbon, ash, carbon monoxide, methanol, and a variety of larger molecules that are collectively referred to as creosote. The carbon monoxide is burned into carbon dioxide, and the methanol is burned into carbon dioxide and water, as is the creosote, if there is enough oxygen. In the end the carbon can also burn into carbon monoxide and then carbon dioxide. If the combustion is complete, you have ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. If the combustion is incomplete you might still have a clean fire that leaves charcoal, but that will happen only if the fire is regulated to produce that result. Unregulated incomplete combustion produces creosote smoke, which can be quite nasty.
What acid burn wood fast?
I would say sulfuric acid eats through wood fastest. It also has a dehydrating property that sucks the water right out of the cellulose of the wood, leaving behind charred carbon.
What is needed to make wood burn and what is released?
for wood to burn you need fire
Does the wood burn or the vapors?
Both. Heated wood gives off gasses that burn. Charcoal (carbon) will also burn.
What do you call burnt wood?
When wood is burned to ash, that ash is mainly carbon. I'm pretty sure it's just carbon. Carbon is in everything and it doesn't burn very well so that's why it's left over from when you burn something.
Why toluene is burn without fume?
Toluene is burn without fume because t is made of pure carbon. Charcoal fire has no smoke because of the wood carbon.
How long does it take for a pencil to burn?
The wood in a pencil will burn in three or four minutes. The graphite inside is pure carbon which will not burn, but at around 800 degrees Celsius will react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Does wood undergo pyrolysis before it burns?
Wood undergoes pyrolysis as it burns. Pyrolysis is the destructive distillation of the wood, producing gasses, which burn as they leave the wood, and carbon, which will also eventually burn. This is how wood normally burns.There is a link to an article on pyrolysis below.
When wood burns water vapour is made - and what else?
I think that, because oxygen is needed for wood to burn- that means that water is made, so will carbon dioxide.The word equation would be:-wood + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide
When wood burns water vapour is made what else is made?
I think that, because oxygen is needed for wood to burn- that means that water is made, so will carbon dioxide.The word equation would be:-wood + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide
When wood burns what is made?
Wood combustion results to two products, carbon dioxide and water. As the solid wood disappear, some ashes remain. These are formed by minor components of wood that cannot burn.

Is wood a solid that can turn into gas?
No. Wood will combust (or burn) when it reaches a high enough temperature. Heat and light are released as many of the carbon compounds in the wood are oxidized into Carbon Dioxide gas. But there is no such thing as a wood gas, in and of itself. Keep in mind that wood is composed of many compounds, not one compound.
Which fuel does not burn without smoke?
Char or charcoal is the remaining portion of the wood material that contains unburnable minerals and pure carbon. Charcoal fire emits no smoke as it is the residue of the wood as carbon without the gases
Is it a chemical reaction when a piece of wood burns?
It is oxidation as the wood combines with air.
