Yes, burning natural gas does produce carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a greenhouse gas. However, it emits significantly less CO2 per unit of energy compared to other fossil fuels like coal or oil. Natural gas primarily consists of methane, and when combusted, it combines with oxygen to produce CO2 and water vapor. Despite its lower carbon emissions, it is still a fossil fuel and contributes to climate change.

What is obtained on heating natural gas?

I am presuming that the question meant burning of Natural Gas. However, even if you heat Natural Gas it will burn at some point since it is combustible and catches a fire quickly. Natural gas is mainly carbon, along with some amounts of a few other elements like Hydrogen, Sulphur, etc. When you burn carbon, you get mainly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.


What do men burn to put carbon from fossil fuels back into the carbon oxygen cycle?

Men burn fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, to release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, thus contributing to the carbon oxygen cycle. This process can lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change.


How can less carbon dioxide be released into the atmosphere?

By cutting down the amount of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we burn.


Does natural gas contain carbon?

Yes, natural gas primarily consists of methane (CH4), which contains carbon as an elemental component. When burned for energy, natural gas releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.


Does carbon dioxide gas burn with a pop?

No it doesn't because hydrogen is the only gas that burns with a squeaky pop!


Does a natural gas leak set off carbon monoxide alarm?

It should not as natural gas is not carbon monoxide.


What gas is given of when things burn?

carbon dioxide


Is carbon monoxide the same as natural gas?

No, carbon monoxide and natural gas are different substances. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas formed when there is incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, while natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane that is used as a source of energy.


Which of these is an odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely. It is a toxic gas that can be harmful when inhaled in high concentrations.


How do you get the energy form natural gas?

You burn it.


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.


Does natural gas have carbon monoxide?

Natural gas itself does not contain carbon monoxide. However, incomplete combustion of natural gas can produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and combustion when using natural gas appliances to avoid the buildup of carbon monoxide.
