Fire is a chemical reaction that occurs when a flammable substance reacts with oxygen and forms oxides. Most flammable substances on Earth contain carbon, and so will produce carbon dioxide when burned.
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.
No, carbon dioxide cannot be turned into oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration and oxygen is produced during photosynthesis.
When C02 is released from a campfire, it is called a carbon emission.
The addition of carbon dioxide to a fire can extinguish it because carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, which is necessary for the fire to burn. This process suffocates the fire, preventing it from continuing to burn.
In the carbon cycle, photosynthesis by plants and algae absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while respiration by living organisms releases carbon dioxide back. In the oxygen cycle, photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is then used in cellular respiration by organisms to generate energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.
Yes, fermentation produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Yes, cars produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel in their engines.

Carbon Dioxide
When combustion is incomplete due to limited oxygen supply, carbon monoxide (CO) is produced instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). In a fire, if the conditions are not optimal for complete combustion, carbon monoxide is formed as a byproduct.
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
No, carbon dioxide cannot be turned into oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration and oxygen is produced during photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
Carbon dioxide is a normal byproduct of aerobic metabolism. It is produced when cells break down glucose for energy in the presence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is then exhaled from the body as a waste product.
No, plants do not give off carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their natural processes. Instead, they release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the byproduct or rather the waste product of a combustion reaction.
