yes, fire gives
off carbon dioxide and takes in oxygen
Additional answer
It does rather depend on what it is that's burning in the fire. A fire that's entirely hydrogen burning would not produce carbon dioxide. Where would the carbon come from? Likewise, magnesium burning would not produce any.

Does petrol give off carbon dioxide?
No, it is not. Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of petrol in air. Petrol is octane (C8H18), containing no oxygen atoms, whereas carbon monoxide, CO, has an oxygen atom. Complete combustion of octane goes: C8H18 + 12.5(O2 +3.76N2) --> 8CO2 + 9H2O + 47N2 Petrol Air Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Water Thus in a petrol fire with plenty of oxygen, no carbon monoxide is produced. However in a car's cylinder, there is likely to be more fuel and less oxygen than in this idealised combustion situation. There will still be mostly carbon dioxide and water as combustion products, but some of the carbon will partially oxidise carbon to carbon monoxide rather than dioxide. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it is a less immediately dangerous substance than CO, which sticks to your red blood cells tighter than oxygen does - so tightly, in fact, that it won't let go, and the capacity of your blood to carry much-needed oxygen to your cells. Instead of bright red oxyhaemoglobin, CO combines with blood to produce cherry-pink carboxyhaemoglobin. A sign of CO poisoning is a cherry-pink complexion.
What do plants absorb soil from?
AnswerPlants take Carbon Dioxide from the air by photosynthesis and replace it with oxygen
Why does carbon monoxide give off a blue flame?
Carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame due to the presence of excited carbon atoms in the flame. These excited atoms emit blue light as they return to their ground state, producing the characteristic blue color.
Why do plants give out carbon dioxide in the dark and oxygen in the light and can this reduce oxygen in the bedroom at night?
Plants release carbon dioxide during respiration, which occurs both day and night. In the presence of sunlight, plants undergo photosynthesis, where they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis is usually more than the carbon dioxide released during respiration, so there should not be a significant reduction in oxygen levels in a bedroom at night due to plants.
Do humans inhale carbon dioxide?
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
What do fossil fuels give out when they are burnt?
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Carbon dioxide is used for putting out fire-give reason?
2 reasons why carbon dioxide is used in putting fire off
Why is carbon dioxide not good reducing agent as carbon monoxide?
The carbon atom in carbon dioxide has an oxidation state of 4+ (It's missing 4 electrons.) The carbon atom in carbon monoxide has an oxidation state of 2+ (It's only missing two electrons.) A reducing agent is something that will give electrons to another substance. Carbon dioxide has less electrons to give than carbon monoxide, making it not as good of a reducing agent.
Why do old cars give more carbon monoxide?
Old cars give off more carbon dioxide because they do not have catalytic converters. Catalytic converters act as catalysts, converting dangerous substances such carbon monoxide into harmless compounds.
What is the symbol equation of carbon monoxide burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide?
This equation is 2 CO + O2 -> 2 CO2.
Does fire give off carbon dioxide?
If it is burning carbon or something that contains carbon, yes.
What pollutant of the air is formed if the combustion of butane is not complete?
comlete combustion gives carbon dioxide and water- incomletet can give carbon monoxide.
Will a candle set off a carbon monoxide detector?
No, because candles do not give off Carbon Monoxide.
What is a major source of oxygen for the earth's atmosphere?
Trees and plant life.carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and regenerated into oxygen then given off again
Will a battery give off carbon monoxide?
No, a battery does not produce carbon monoxide as it does not involve combustion or burning of fuel. Carbon monoxide is mainly produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
What gases do candles give off when burning?
Air is mostly Nitrogen, but that is not the "burning" part; Oxygen is probably what you are looking for, as that is the part that helps the candle burn, without there would be no fire. Or maybe you are looking for Carbon dioxide, that is what burning candles (which are mostly carbon) produces. What gas causes a candle to burn? Oxygen. It is the oxygen in the atmosphere that chemically combines with the wax of the candle to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What does candle need from air to burn? A candle requires oxygen (O2) to continue its combustion reaction and produce CO2 and H2O.
What gas is produced by fires?
Mostly carbon dioxide. If the supply of oxygen is restricted, carbon monoxide as well. Other things depend on what is in the burning substance, sulfur will give sulfur dioxide for example, and there may be nitrogen oxides.
