Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?

No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.


How does burning trees effects carbon dioxide?

Burning trees not only creates more carbon dioxide because of the smoke released from the burning, but also because trees help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They take in CO2 and release oxygen. The less trees there are, the more CO2 in our atmosphere.


Is carbon dioxide produced by burning coal and natural gas?

'Is carbon dioxide produced by burning' carbon rich compounds in an oxygen rich environment, I'm only going to give you one guess at this - better make it a good one!


What are the two main products of the combustion of methane and other fossil fuels?

Burning methane releases only carbon dioxide and water.


How burning carbon in air can lead o the formation of carbon monoxide?

The formation of carbon dioxide. Burning coal that releases only carbon dioxide means the coal is completely burnt and more energy is produced. Carbon monoxide is released when the combustion process is incomplete.


Why does burning glucose and burning octane give the same products?

Because both are hydrocarbons (having only carbon and hydrogen) so produce only carbon dioxide and water vapours on combustion.


Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?

Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.


How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.


Why is carbon dioxide hot?
