When methane and oxygen react in a combustion reaction what produces?
water vapors and carbon dioxide.
What does carbon dioxide and water form?
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are created from combustion of organics. If the combustion is not 100% complete you will get carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. if its 100% you will only get carbon dioxide. (as a side note - the energy you get from food is from a process a lot like combustion, so we are internal combustion engines producing CO2. That's why we breath it out)
What kinds of combustion fuel produce the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Almost all fuels produce carbon dioxide when burnt, but only fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas actually add to the amount of carbon dioxide naturally present in the atmosphere.
How does burning of fossil fuels affect carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the majority is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Even though Carbon monoxide is also forms but it will not be in appreciable quantity since they get converted to carbon dioxide when combustion gets completed. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that enhances radiative forcing and contributes to global warming. For more information visit the Discussion page.
How does fires contribute to global warming?
Whenever anything is burnt it gives off carbon dioxide, which is a dangerous greenhouse gas, so yes, lighting fires contributes to global warming. Fire releases greenhouse gases because combustion does: heat+fuel+oxygen=carbon dioxide+(energy)
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
When a candle burns it gives off carbon dioxide and?
WATER! H2O it is a combustion reaction and every combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water
What happens when ethene burns what is let out?
Combustion of ethene produces carbon dioxide and water.
What produces a greenhouse gas when burned?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (if the combustion is not complete), nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
What process produces waste carbon dioxide?
Burning (combustion) of organic substance will produce waste Carbon Dioxide. Also metabolic processes in living things produces waste Carbon Dioxide.
What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
carbon dioxide
Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?
No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.
How is the burning of cleared land contributing to greenhouse gas emissions?
Combustion releases carbon dioxide as the carbon in the organic material is joined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.
How is carbon dioxide formed when petrol burns?
petrol consists of carbon and hydrogen, when it burns it produces carbon dioxide and water if complete combustion occurs
When methane and oxygen react in a combustion reaction what produces?
water vapors and carbon dioxide.
