What else can I help you with?
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
Would a Burning fuel be a chemical or physical change?
Petrol or gasoline is basically octane - C8H18 and when it burns in air (oxygen) it converts to Carbon Dioxide and water and heat. It is thus a chemical change. Each carbon atom in the fuel has approximately two hydrogen atoms attached to it, and so its reduced molecular weight is a multiple about 14. In the combustion process each carbon atom is combined with two oxygen atoms of atomic weight 16, to produce CO2 with a molecular weight of 44. In addition, the two atoms of hydrogen are united with one further oxygen atom to produce water with a molecular weight of 18. So (approximately) 14 kg of fuel reacts with 48 kg of oxygen to produce 44 kg of carbon dioxide and 18 kg of water.
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
The oceans and vegetation absorb a significant amount of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning fossil fuels, which reduces the overall increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, this absorption capacity is limited, and the excess carbon dioxide that remains in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and climate change.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
What does carbon dioxide produce?
Carbon dioxide is produced through the process of cellular respiration in living organisms, combustion of fossil fuels, and various industrial processes. It is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. In nature, carbon dioxide plays a vital role in photosynthesis, where plants use it to produce energy and oxygen.
How does a candle produce carbon dioxide while it burns?
Any burning (oxidation reaction) produce carbon dioxide.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
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.
Do cars produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their operation?
Yes, cars produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel in their engines.
Why does burning hydrocarbons produce sulphur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is produced only if the hydrocarbons are contaminated with sulfur compounds.
When oxygen is available sulfur dioxide is produced from the burning of sulfur.what is the equation for this?
The equation for the burning of sulfur in the presence of oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide is: S (sulfur) + O2 (oxygen) --> SO2 (sulfur dioxide).
What does burning use to produce carbon dioxide - OXYGEN or CARBON?
Both carbon (or a carbon compound) and oxygen are used in the formation of carbon dioxide, which contains both elements.
A gas given off when burning takes place?
During the burning process, oxygen combines with carbon to produce carbon dioxide.
What human activity releases large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the environment?
Sulfur dioxide is produced by the burning of coal to produce electricity. Nearly 2/3 of the sulfur dioxide produced is through the burning of fossil fuels.
What kind of light bulbs produce carbon dioxide?
No light bulbs produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their function. Carbon dioxide is typically produced by burning fossil fuels for electricity generation, heating, or transportation.
Balanced equation for the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur is generally S8. S8 + 8 O2 → 8 SO2
