It is possible, however, to explode substances that do not contain carbon, such as pure hydrogen (the very famous Hindenburg disaster in 1937 is a classic example of a very big hydrogen gas explosion -- see the Web Links to the left of this answer for more about that and an impressive video -- skip ahead to 3:30 min to see the explosion!). An explosion of hydrogen produces only water vapor (H2O), NOT carbon dioxide (CO2). SO2, sulfur dioxide, is also commonly Ford when sulfur is burned instead of carbon. Azide salts like NaN3 are commonly used to explosively inflate car airbags. On detonation, they decompose to the elemental metal. This is a favourable transition due to a positive change and the formation of highly stable free nitrogen gas.
Also, nuclear (both fusion and fission) themselves do not produce carbon dioxide, although they may cause surrounding objects to incinerate, which would release carbon dioxide.
See the Web Links to the left of this answer for some impressive videos of different types of explosions, including ones that do and don't produce CO2 emissions!
Another product of what is known as incomplete combustion is COCO, or carbon monoxide, can be formed when there is not enough combustion for carbon dioxide, and is extremely poisonous to humans. It is another potential product of an explosion, which is essentially combustion.
What else can I help you with?
What do fossil fuels give out when they are burnt?
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
What is burnt to cause the greenhouse effect?
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, are burned to produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What type of combustion fuels produce the greenhouse gas carbon and dioxide?
Combustion fuels that produce carbon dioxide include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned for energy, carbon contained within them reacts with oxygen, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Additionally, biomass fuels like wood and agricultural residues also emit carbon dioxide when combusted. These emissions contribute significantly to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, impacting climate change.
Why do appliances produce carbon dioxide?
Appliances don't exactly produce carbon dioxide (CO2), but they are responsible for CO2 emissions. Appliances run on electricity, and most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning emits CO2, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
What is created when fossil fuels are burnt?
carbon dioxide
What kinds of combustion fuel produce the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide when burned in combustion processes. Wood and biomass also produce carbon dioxide when burned. These activities contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What is released when fuels are burnt in oxygen?
CO2 (Carbon dioxide)
What do fossil fuels give out when they are burnt?
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?

So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
What is burnt to cause the greenhouse effect?
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, are burned to produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Which gas is produced when fossil fuels burnt?
When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct along with water vapor and other pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
Do nuclear fuels produce carbon dioxide and why?
No, nuclear fuels do not produce carbon dioxide during the process of generating electricity. Nuclear power plants use uranium as fuel to produce energy through nuclear fission, which does not emit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
What are some energy sources that produce carbon dioxide and water when burned?
Fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil are examples of energy sources that produce carbon dioxide and water when burned. These fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during combustion, contributing to climate change.
What type of combustion fuels produces to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide when combusted. Additionally, biofuels made from organic material also release carbon dioxide when burned.
What kind of light bulbs produce carbon dioxide?
No light bulbs produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their function. Carbon dioxide is typically produced by burning fossil fuels for electricity generation, heating, or transportation.
What type of combustion fuels produce the greenhouse gas carbon and dioxide?
Combustion fuels that produce carbon dioxide include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned for energy, carbon contained within them reacts with oxygen, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
