What else can I help you with?
Does a fire give off carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
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.
What do you use carbon dioxide?
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
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.
How does carbon dioxide extinguish a fire?
Carbon dioxide is very stable, and cannot contribute oxygen to support combustion of most flames. As carbon dioxide becomes more and more prevalent, it can displace oxygen, and so the fuel may be present, but the oxidizer is not. The fire is "smothered".
Can magnesium burn in carbon dioxide?
When magnesium burns in air it creates a very bright white flame. When magnesium and oxygen mix,(mixing a substance with oxygen is called oxydation)it creates a new substance called magnesium oxide, which is a white powder. 2Mg+O2-----> 2MgO Magnesium oxide is a compound.
Which gas makes burning magnesium go out?
Nitrogen would extinguish the flame. Unlike most burning fuels, magnesium will continue to burn in carbon dioxide because its flame is hot enough to decompose carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen.
Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?
Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.
Why carbon-dioxide supports the combustion of magnesium?
Carbon dioxide does not support the combustion of magnesium; it acts as a fire suppressant by displacing oxygen. Combustion requires oxygen, so the presence of carbon dioxide can inhibit the reaction by reducing the concentration of oxygen available for combustion.
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
How does carbon dioxide benefit life?
carbon dioxide help to extinguish fires..if something caught a fire,we would use a fire extinguisher which contains carbon dioxide and obviously we would keep oxygen away from the burning thing..
Why does magnesium ribbon continues to burn in carbon dioxide though it is a fire extinguisher?
Because Magnesium, like other highly reactive metals, is much more easily oxidized than most fuels for fires. The Magnesium can essentially "steal" oxygen from the carbon dioxide CO2 + 2Mg --> 2MgO + C
Why is Carbon dioxide is used in fire extinguisher?
To get rid of a fire you need to break the fire tetrahedron. There are ways of doing this. Carbon dioxide could get rid of all the oxygen in the fire. If there wasn't any oxygen, there would be no fire and the fire would be extinguished.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
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.
How does the addition of carbon dioxide affect a fire?
The addition of carbon dioxide to a fire can extinguish it because carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, which is necessary for the fire to burn. This process suffocates the fire, preventing it from continuing to burn.
Can magnesium chloride react with sodium bicarbonate?
Yes, magnesium chloride can react with sodium bicarbonate to produce magnesium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This chemical reaction is commonly used in certain types of fire extinguishers.
What happens when there is carbon dioxide around a fire?
the fire should exstinguish a carbon dioxide puts out flames as it is a common fire extinguisher
