Carbon dioxide and water vapor rise above the flame because they are products of combustion that have higher temperatures and lower densities than the surrounding air. This causes them to be buoyant and therefore they rise upwards above the flame.

Does carbon dioxide burn with a pop?

No, carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not burn. When carbon dioxide is exposed to a flame, it will not react or produce a popping sound.


When the carbon dioxide gas was poured over the flame why was the flame extinguished?

Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas that displaces oxygen, which is necessary for a flame to burn. By pouring carbon dioxide over the flame, the oxygen around the flame is depleted, causing the flame to be extinguished.

Does carbon dioxide cause a small explosion when exposed to flame?

Carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not support combustion, so it does not cause an explosion when exposed to flame. In fact, carbon dioxide is often used in fire extinguishers to suppress fires by displacing oxygen and cooling the flames.

What chemical is given off in a burning flame?

The chemical given off in a burning flame is carbon dioxide (CO2) along with water vapor (H2O). Additionally, the color of the flame can be influenced by different chemicals present in the material being burned, such as sodium (yellow), copper (blue-green), or strontium (red).


Why does no soot form from a blue flame?

When a carbon-containing fuel is burned, carbon-oxygen compounds are formed. If there's enough air, carbon dioxide will be formed. When the oxygen runs low you'll get carbon monoxide, and when it runs out you get pure carbon - soot. A blue flame has enough oxygen to convert all the carbon to CO2.
