You would probably need to know what type of vegetable oil and what quantity. However, from a global warming point of view, it does not matter because burning a renewable resource like vegetable oil does not make a nett addition to global carbon dioxide concentrations.
Vegetable oil is produced by growing a crop, which absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After harvesting the crop, we can consume it, burn it or simply let it rot on the ground. This is known as the natural carbon cycle, in which carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air and then eventually returned to the air, with no chnage in long-term carbon dioxide levels. This differs from burning fossil fuels which do actually add to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
What else can I help you with?
What gases are released when fossils are burnt?
carbon dioxide
What is released when fuels are burnt in oxygen?
CO2 (Carbon dioxide)
Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What gas is produced when polyethylene is burnt?
When polyethylene is burnt carbon dioxide and water vapors are released.
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 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 oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?
Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air.
What products are released when hydrocarbons are burnt in plenty of air?
When hydrocarbons are burnt in plenty of air, the main products released are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Additionally, small amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) may also be produced.
Which two gases are made when petrol is burnt?
carbon dioxide and dioxide
What does burnt fuel make?
It depends on the fuel. If it is a fossil fuel you are always going to get carbon dioxide (CO2) and sometimes sulfur dioxide and other gases. But if you burn fuels like bio-gas you get less carbon dioxide emitted (released) and water vapour.
What is created when fossil fuels are burnt?
carbon dioxide
Is carbon dioxide always formed when a hydrocarbon is burnt?
no
