Sodium azide is an extremely toxic (up there with cyanide) powder used as the propellant in airbags. It's combusted in the presence of silica. When it burns, it releases sodium and nitrogen; the silica then combines with the sodium to produce sodium silicate, which is harmless.

Another inorganic fuel is thermite--iron and aluminum.


Here's your problem: almost all fuels are organic--they contain carbon. Any time you burn a carbon-containing product, the major byproduct is CO2.

What are two ways in which carbon dioxide is put into earth atmosphere?

Two ways in which carbon dioxide is put into the Earth's atmosphere are through the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which releases CO2 when they are combusted; and deforestation, which reduces the number of trees available to absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, leading to an increase in atmospheric CO2 levels.


Does driving produce co2?

Yes, driving produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct of burning fuel in the engine. The combustion process releases CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.


What is the balanced equation for dimethylether combusted in air?

The balanced equation for dimethylether (C2H6O) combusted in air is: 2 C2H6O + 5 O2 -> 4 CO2 + 6 H2O


Why do cylinders fill with fuel on a fuel injected motor?

How many moles of C6H6 should be completely combusted in order to produce 0.4000 moles of carbon dioxide?

1 mole of C6H6 produces 6 moles of CO2 during combustion. Therefore, 0.4000 moles of CO2 would require (0.4000 moles CO2) / (6 moles C6H6 per mole CO2) = 0.0667 moles of C6H6 to be completely combusted.


Does hydrogen release CO2?

No. In order for CO2 to be produce, both carbon and oxygen must be present in some form. Hydrogen is its own element and does not contain any other elements.

If you used charcoal as a fuel what happens to the atoms in the charcoal?

Charcoal is mostly carbon atoms arranged in a solid form, when combusted the carbon is combined with oxygen in the air (burned) to produce carbon dioxide, CO2, which would simply disperse in the atmosphere
