When burning magnesium ribbon is introduced into a jar of nitrogen gas?
Magnesium burns in the presence of sulfur dioxide because, the oxygen in the sulfur dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide.
Do burning fuels add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to the atmosphere.
Why Nitrogen can reduce the burning?
cos it does not burn itself nor supports burning
Does burning fuels add nitrogen into the atmosphere?
no
In what gas does burning magnesium go out in?
In nitrogen
How is nitrogen oxide formed from burning petrol?
Nitrogen is formed by giving off petrol
Does hydrogen support burning?
Hydrogen does not support burning, instead it completely burns.
Does oxygen gas support burning?
Oxygen is colourless, support burning but don't smell.
HOW CARBON DIOXIDE AND NITROGEN MONOXIDE CAN BE FORMED IN A COMPLETE COMBUSTION ENGINE?
Carbon dioxide is the product of any burning of an organic material; nitrogen monoxide is produced indirect at the burning of organic materials containg nitrogen.
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning?
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning? The only substances produced are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water. Under perfect circumstances. So called efficient burning.
