No. CO2 is a product of combustion. If the concept that LeChatelier proposed is used, the CO2 actually gets in the way of the combustion reaction (burning).

Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?

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.


Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?

This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.


Why do you need to burn less fossill fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and global warming. By burning less fossil fuels, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Additionally, transitioning to cleaner energy sources can improve air quality, reduce pollution, and create a more sustainable environment for future generations.


How does saving energy reduce carbon dioxide emmisions?

Almost all fuel used to create energy (coal, oil, gas) causes carbon dioxide emissions, therefore not using aka saving energy will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nature produces most of the carbon dioxide. Man produces about 6% of all CO2 produced. Much of this by items that would otherwise rot and create CO2 naturally.


What are the 2 waste products formed by burning fuels?

Two waste products of oxidation's are water and Carbon Dioxide. Water is a waste product is because we take in more then we need. Carbon Dioxide is a waste product because when we breath, we breath in oxygen and we BREATH OUT Carbon Dioxide. To further elaborate on this......basic overview, when cells create energy from the chemical components taken from digestion, they use Oxygen taken in from Restoration and combine its with ATP, by products of this reaction are Energy, Waste, and Carbon Dioxide.

What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?

The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.

How much carbon dioxide is released when vegetable oil is burnt as fuel?

You would probably need to know what type of vegetable oil and what quantity. However, from a global warming point of view, it does not matter because burning a renewable resource like vegetable oil does not make a nett addition to global carbon dioxide concentrations. Vegetable oil is produced by growing a crop, which absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After harvesting the crop, we can consume it, burn it or simply let it rot on the ground. This is known as the natural carbon cycle, in which carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air and then eventually returned to the air, with no chnage in long-term carbon dioxide levels. This differs from burning fossil fuels which do actually add to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
