The weight of smoke can vary significantly depending on its composition and density, which are influenced by factors such as the materials being burned and the temperature. Generally, smoke is a mixture of gases, water vapor, and fine particulate matter, making it lighter than air. However, if you need a specific weight, it's important to measure the volume and density of the smoke under controlled conditions. In practical terms, smoke is often considered negligible in weight compared to the materials producing it.

What is lighter than air but when it touches the ground it is the heaviest?

The answer to this riddle is "smoke." Smoke is lighter than air and tends to rise, but when it settles on the ground, it can create a thick layer that feels heavy and can obscure visibility. Additionally, the accumulation of smoke particles can have significant weight when gathered together.


How much ash and smoke does wood produce when it is burned?

The amount of ash and smoke produced when wood is burned varies based on factors such as the type of wood, its moisture content, and the combustion conditions. On average, burning seasoned hardwood produces about 1-2% ash by weight, while softwoods can produce slightly more due to higher resin content. Smoke is primarily composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other volatile compounds, with the volume of smoke also influenced by the efficiency of the combustion process. Properly seasoned and well-burned wood minimizes smoke production, leading to cleaner combustion.


What is the solute and solvent smoke?

Smoke is NOT a solution, it is a mixture (because the smoke you can see is particulate and will settle out).


Do smoke detectors detect ciggarette smoke?

smoke...The reason that sometimes we cannot see smoke is because of the very tiny "particulates" that make up the smoke. A good smoke detector mwill sense smoke long before it can be seen. It is particles in air that are very very small that a smoke detector detects.


Smoke detector for cigarettes?

A smoke detector is designed to detect smoke particles in the air, which could indicate a fire hazard. However, it may not be effective in detecting smoke from cigarettes because the particles are smaller and closer to the source. It is important to use a dedicated smoke alarm for tobacco smoke detection.
