Technically, carbon is not produced when something is burned. Carbon dioxide is produced. And only if the substance being burned contains carbon compounds. Burning separates the carbon from the other elements in the compound and combines it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.

When 3 g of carbon brunt in 50 g of oxygen then find the mass of carbon dioxide produced?
The equation for the reaction is C + O2 -> CO2. The relevant gram atomic masses are 12.011 for carbon and 15.9994 for oxygen. Therefore, the ratio of the mass of carbon dioxide produced to carbon burnt is [2(15.9994) + 12.011]/12.011 or about 3.66. From burning 3 grams of carbon, the mass of carbon dioxide produced is therefore 1 X 101 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.
What are some disadvantages of electrical energy?
Electricity is mainly produced by burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas. When burnt these all produce carbon dioxide which contributes to the layer of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
What geological process returns carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide?
Carbon never leaves our environment. Where is exists has always been the issue. Carbon makes up all living matter. This carbon is released into the ground or our air when the organism dies and decays or is burnt. A tree that is burnt will release the same amount of carbon as a tree that rots.
Where is corbon dioxide produced?
Carbon monoxide is produced in the engine and is one of the three exhaust gasses that result from combustion however if your car has a functioning catalytic converter the carbon monoxide should be transformed into carbon dioxide.
What gases are produced when you burn methanol?
carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide.
How are the products of combustion different when carbon is burnt rather than methane?
When carbon is burnt, Carbon Dioxide only is produced. When methane is burnt, both carbon dioxide and water are produced.
What oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?
co2
What gas is produced when polyethylene is burnt?
When polyethylene is burnt carbon dioxide and water vapors are released.
What gas is produced when fuel is burnt in cars?
Carbon Dioxide of course!
What is produced when petrol is burnt?
Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.....i guess and maybe Carbon monoxide....
What would be the product if a compound containing carbon is burnt. Is there any test to confirm this?
The product of carbon being burnt is carbon dioxide, when it is burnt in excess of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is colorless and basically odorless, but it can be determined by passing the gases into a solution of limewater. This will become milky, as calcium carbonate would be produced in the presence of carbon dioxide.
What products are produced when ethanol is completely burnt?
When ethanol is burnt, a number of products are formed. They are carbon dioxide, heat, water and Nitrous Oxide which is harmful.
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
What gas does methane produce when burnt?
The products produced when burning methane (CH4) are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Why is dead organic matter important to the carbon- oxygen cycle?
Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.
What is the burnt part of toast called?
burnt carbon
What is burnt to cause the greenhouse effect?
Carbon Dioxide (chemical formula: CO2), contributes to the Greenhouse Effect when burnt. Try burning something and if the substance you have burnt turns black it contains Carbon Dioxide.
