Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?

No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.


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


When oil is burned does it produce methane?

Burning oil cannot produce methane. The gases produced are mostly CO2 and CO, and maybe some oxides of sulfer and nitrogen.


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 are the soures of co2 in atomsphre?

there are many sources including many which are caused by us human. Plants proudce co2 at night when there is no light. In burning fossil fuels we also produce vasts amounts of co2 the co2 conc of the air now is 0.004%

Does oxygen produce co2 while burning?

This depends on what fuel you are burning: it must contain (at least some) carbon


A Symbol Equation for burning fuels?

The symbol equation for burning a fuel such as methane (CH4) in oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.

Does camphor produce CO2 while burning?

Yes, when camphor burns, it undergoes combustion and produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of the byproducts.


What gas does methane produce when burnt?

The products produced when burning methane (CH4) are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).


Is gas burning a chemical changing?

Yes, butane burning is a chemical change. The molecule of butane is converted to CO2 and H2O when combusted in oxygen.


Determine the mass of CO2 produced by burning enough carbon (in the form of charcoal) to produce 510 kJ of heat. C(s) O2(g)CO2(g)ΔHrxn393.5k?

The heat produced by burning 1 mol of carbon to form CO2 is 393.5 kJ. To produce 510 kJ of heat, we utilize the ratio of heat produced to calculate the moles of CO2 produced as (510 kJ / 393.5 kJ) mol CO2. The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol, so the mass of CO2 produced is (510/393.5) * 44.01 g.

Name two greenhouse gases that you produce too much of?

Carbon dioxide (CO2): We produce too much CO2 by burning fossil fuels (coal to make electricity, and oil for heating and transport.Methane (CH4): We produce too much CH4 by raising cattle. Cattle belching and manure release the gas, twenty-one times more powerful than CO2.


What is the chemical equation for coal burning?

The chemical equation for coal burning (combustion) is: C(s) + O2(g) -> CO2(g) + heat. This means solid carbon (coal) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and heat energy.
