The carbon (the main component of charcoal) is oxidized, releasing heat, which is why it is called a fuel.
There are other flammable components in charcoal that also are oxidized, adding their bit to the energy release.
Carbon dioxide and water vapours; also sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
Charcoal itself does not have a direct effect on the ozone layer. However, the process of burning charcoal can release carbon monoxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution which can indirectly impact the ozone layer.
No, the ashes from charcoal have a lesser mass than the original charcoal. When charcoal burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases gases and leaves behind mostly carbon in the form of ashes.
Yes, it does, as does everything that burns, as oxygen is one part of the "Fire Triangle", which is the three things anything needs to burn. The other two components of this triangle are: Fuel and Heat.
Burning charcoal is spontaneous, but not at room temperature. To start the combustion energy must be added (in the form of heat). Once the temperature of the charcoal reaches a certain temperature it reacts exothermically and releases heat. This heat of reaction is sufficient to locally heat more charcoal so that it burns continuously.
Match Lite charcoal lights quickly and burns good.

Wood is burned at high temperature with a lack of oxygen to create charcoal.
Charcoal burns at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1100 degrees Celsius.
Charcoal burns quite well as a fuel, it just needs an air supply
Charcoal burns with a smokeless flame. Hence, it is used as domestic fuel.
how burns happens
Charcoal and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide. This reaction occurs when charcoal burns in the presence of oxygen, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
Carbon dioxide and water vapours; also sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
Pass me the charcoal please.I enjoy a charcoal barbecue in the summer.
it will produce carbon dioxide
Charcoal grills produce hydrocarbons as well as soot particles. Also grilling meat can produce toxic compounds. Propane burns cleaner and safer than charcoal.
