carbon dioxide water
Why carbon dioxide is produes when carbon is heated?
carbon burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide. however, carbon monoxide can also be formed by incomplete combustion
When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
Why is petrol bad for the environment?
In order to move the car forward petrol is burned. Petrol comes from underground and is from rottting trees decomposing over millions of years. Petrol has many carbon atoms in it that, when the petrol burns, react with oxygen to make CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). The 2 reasons petrol is bad is 1. it takes millions of years to make so it isn't renuable and second when it burns it produces carbon dioxide which causes global warming.
What new materials are formed when a candle burns?
water,carbon dioxide and soot
What happens to carbon when isooctane burns in a car's engine?
When hydrocarbons are burned, carbon dioxide is formed. If the hydrocarbon is burned in low amount of oxygen, carbon monoxide can be formed. Carbon monoxide is harmful for animals.
Why is sulfur dioxide produced in a petrol engine?
because when petrol burns it produces sulfur dioxide
What are the products formed when fuel such as petrol burns completely?
Mainly Water (H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), but mainly the first two. And if the petrol is broken down incompletely (without oxygen) Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced instead of CO2.A:Carbon dioxide and water (mainly) but in case of incomplete combustion carbon monoxide and carbon (soot) too. The pollutants produced by petrol combustion are mainly nitrogen oxides and unburnt petrol.
