For combustion to occur (that is, a fire to start), oxygen must be present. In an anaerobic environment where oxygen is not present, there can be no combustion reaction. Even though Carbon dioxide contains oxygen (the oxide in dioxide) it must exist as oxygen gas for a fire to start, the carbon and oxygen in CO2 are bonded so tightly that normal reactions cannot separate the two in order for the combustible material to use it. I'm having a hard time attempting to paint a picture of how this works. Imagine this, when a person or animal suffocates due to "lack of oxygen" it is not actually the lack of oxygen that kills them, it is the over abundance of carbon dioxide. When you breath in, you are breathing in everything in the atmosphere, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon. Your body utilizes the oxygen, nitrogen and argon, but it cannot utilize the CO2 so you get rid of it when you exhale. When put into an airtight environment eventually you will have replaced most of the oxygen with carbon dioxide and will only be breathing the CO2 in and since the bonds are too strong for your body to break the carbon and oxygen apart the carbon dioxide is useless to us and our organs and blood do not get the oxygen they need and suffocation occurs. Hopefully this will help you understand a little better that nothing can remove the oxygen from carbon dioxide and like our bodies a flame cannot sustain life with carbon dioxide alone.

What role do producers play in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
producers take in carbon dioxide from photosynthesis and so they create the system because consumers eat the producers they get carbon and so on so forth.we eventually release that carbon into the air as carbon dioxide.
How are plants your partners in breathing?
Plants use sunlight to perform photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Through this process, plants help to replenish the oxygen in the atmosphere that humans and animals need to breathe. This symbiotic relationship between plants and animals ensures a constant supply of fresh oxygen for all living organisms.
How do plants photosynthesise?
Plants photosynthesise by trapping sunlight and taking in carbon dioxide(Co2) through the stomata which are holes found at the underside of the leaf and release oxygen through the same hole.
Why cant you see your fart's?
Fart gases are mostly made up of odorless gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which our eyes cannot see. The only gases produced in farts that are visible are methane and sulfur compounds, but their concentration is too low to be seen with the naked eye.
How does the process photosynthesis affect the forest?
Sunlight allows forest life, such as plants, bushes and trees to grow. if they dont receive the certain amount of sunlight, they could potentially die out. same goes for the water in a forest. if the sunlight doesnt reach the water, then the water cycle cant do it's job, and the water will either build up, or could become a swamp. Hope this helps!!
Can you breathe in all gases?
No, we cant breath all of the gases for example we cant breath carbon dioxide
What is the benefit of a catalytic converter changing carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide?
Converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide is beneficial because carbon dioxide is less toxic to humans and the environment than carbon monoxide. This conversion helps reduce the harmful effects of carbon monoxide emissions on air quality and human health.
How do you fix without replacing catalyst?
you cant because the object is to create carbon dioxide and H2o from carbon monoxide which is environmentaly safe
Do plants give animals carbon dioxide?
well on plants they die and shrivel up like a rasin. then on animals they just cant breathe.
Where do you get the 16 wishes candles?
Actually, you cant get the candles anywhere. The candles were mad for the movie, they dont sell them anywhere.
Can we say that you cant hear sound in space because there is no oxygen and carbon dioxide?
It is better to say that it is because there is no air of any sort in space. Any gas can carry sound, it is not a special property of oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Why are trees improtan?
Because when we breath out we let out carbon dioxide and when we breath in we take in oxygen because we cant breath in carbon dioxide . Trees are living just like us so but they breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen so without trees we would'nt be here . also they make great furniture
Why cant you breathe on Venus?
It's mostly carbon dioxide and a little nitrogen. We need oxygen and a lot of nitrogen.
What do humans breathe out and plants breathe in?
Carbon dioxide . It is part of the Carbon and Oxygen cycles. Humans ( all animals) breath in ( inhale) oxygen . It is used internally in the animated organism. It is then breathed out ( exhaled) as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and 'falls' to the ground. Whereupon , it is absorbed by green plant life. Then under the process of photosynthesis within the plant , the carbon dioxide is broken down in to oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, and the carbon is kept in the plant as biomass.
How do you mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water?
To mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, the sugar (glucose) undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen. This chemical reaction results in the production of carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The reaction equation is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
How do you order the 16 Wishes candles?
you cant order it
Why cant carbon dioxide be on the periodic table?
Carbon dioxide is a compound made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms covalently bonded together. The periodic table is a chart that lists elements, which are substances made of only one type of atom. Since carbon dioxide is a compound, it cannot be placed on the periodic table.
