In normal usage, 'burning' means oxygen combustion, so without a source of oxygen carbon cannot burn. Rockets get around this problem by carrying supplies of oxygen with them (although rockets usually burn hydrogen rather than carbon compounds). Further, given sufficient temperatures, carbon compounds may react chemically with other available substances, which may be considered a kind of burning
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is Vacuum oxygen decarburization process?
The VOD (Vacuum Oxygen Decarburisation) process is used for production of high chromium steels with lowest carbon contents. it is a type of furnace in which the molten meatal is placed under a vacuum chamber....
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
When fossil fuels burn, oxygen is used as the gas that reacts with the carbon in the fuel to produce carbon dioxide. This process is known as combustion and is the reason why carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
When human burn fossil fuels what is released back into the atmosphere?
When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released back into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change.
In a combustion reaction carbon is used to make reactants burn?
In a combustion reaction, a carbon-containing compound typically reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat. This process is an exothermic reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light. The combustion of carbon-based fuels is a key source of energy in various industrial and domestic applications.
How carbon dioxide burn?
Carbon dioxide cannot burn.
Would fire burn in a vacuum?
A substance would only burn in a vacuum if it contained an oxidizer. There has to be an oxidizer for there to be fire. That doesn't mean that it requires oxygen, just a substance that facilitates the removal of electrons.
What is formed when you burn carbon?
carbon dioxide
If a plant and a burning candle are placed under a bell jar will the candle burn?
No, the candle will not burn because the flame will consume the oxygen inside the bell jar, creating a vacuum and extinguishing the flame. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur, and without it, the candle cannot burn.
Will the carbon burn?
Yes, carbon can burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and release energy in the form of heat and light.
What happens when carbon solid is heated?
Carbon burn in air.
What happens when water is placed in vacuum?
You burn up the motor.
What is the chemical equation for an imperfect perfect burn?
An imperfect burn of a hydrocarbon like methane can produce carbon monoxide (CO) instead of carbon dioxide (CO2), due to insufficient oxygen. The chemical equation for an imperfect burn of methane is CH4 + O2 → CO + H2O.
Does carbon dioxide burn with a pop?
No, carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not burn. When carbon dioxide is exposed to a flame, it will not react or produce a popping sound.
Can you burn carbon?
yes it can but only with a broken Bunsen burner
If you burn plants where does the carbon primarily go to?
Into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
