For complete combustion, the equation is C + O2 => CO2. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon monoxide can also form, along with soot and other materials.

What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels Apex?
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
What are examples of a chemical equation?
C + O2 = CO2 That's a combustion (burning) reaction between carbon and oxygen molecules in air.
What is the word equation for methane burning in the air?
The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
Burning coal and exhaust from automobiles release carbon into the air?
nothing
How much carbon dioxide is emitted by burning one pound of coal?
Burning one pound of carbon releases about 3.6 pounds of carbon dioxide (the extra weight comes from oxygen from the air).
What is the balanced chemical equation for burning C18H38 in air?
18CO2 (g) +38HO2 (l)
What is the word equation for a candle burning in the air?
The word equation for a candle burning in the air is: Wax + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light + Heat.
What is the balanced chemical equation for the burning of ethanol?
C2H5OH +3O2 gives 2CO2 +3H2O ...it burns with ablue flame in air
What is the chemical equation for fossil fuels burning in the air?
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels Apex?
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
What is balanced chemical equation when carbon disulphide burns in air to give carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Cs2 + 3 o2 → co2 + 2 so2
What are examples of a chemical equation?
C + O2 = CO2 That's a combustion (burning) reaction between carbon and oxygen molecules in air.
What is the balanced equation burning phosphorous in air?
If there is an excess of air, the reaction should produce diphosphorus pentoxide as its only product. If additionally the phosphorus molecule is simply a phosphorus atom, the balanced equation is: 4 P + 5 O2 -> 2P2O5. If phosphorus is considered to form a tetraatomic molecule, the equation would be: P4 + 5 O2 -> 2 P2O5
What is the balanced equation for dimethylether combusted in air?
69
How carbon dioxide gets in the air?
The burning of carbon - be it food in plants and animals or from burning fuel or from burning forests.
What is the word equation for ethanol burning in air?
ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]
Does burning remove carbon dioxide from the air?
