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.


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.


Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?

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


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 is the effect of burning wood and coal?

Burning wood and coal add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, where it joins other greenhouse gases to contribute to the greenhouse effect. Burning wood may only release carbon that has been stored for some years, depending on the age of the tree. Burning wood will usually not add to the normal carbon cycle, especially if another tree is growing in its place. Burning coal, however, releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. This extra carbon disrupts the natural carbon cycle and is causing the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing the present global warming.

Which fuel release only carbon dioxide on burning?

Burning natural gas, which is largely methane, releases carbon dioxide with fewer by-products than either oil or coal.


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.


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.


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 is carbon dioxide hot?

Carbon dioxide is hot only if is heated or is released from a burning reaction.Added:But in another kind of 'language' carbon dioxide is an 'hot item', because it is a 'warehouse gas' and a main reason for climate change of the last century.

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 produced when something is burnt?

Technically, carbon is not produced when something is burned. Carbon dioxide is produced. And only if the substance being burned contains carbon compounds. Burning separates the carbon from the other elements in the compound and combines it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.


Is burning fossil fuels the reason carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere?

Yes, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the increase in atmospheric concentrations of this greenhouse gas. This is a major driver of climate change and global warming.
