What gas is emitted when burning aluminum?
Answer:
The combustion properties of aluminum particles have been the subject of much research. Many variables must be considered like surrounding environmental atmospheric conditions, pressure, temperature, and gas flow conditions. So, the answer to you questions is dependant on these. For example to get a water vapor gas (H2O), the atmosphere should be a mixture of H2 and air. Or, to get a gas of mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), the atmosphere should be a mixture of CO and air. In normal air, oxygen would be emitted, but this just adds fuel to the fire. So, really nothing is emitted. However, when aluminum is burned, it can get superheated which in affect turns the aluminum into a fuel.
Hey, that is not specific enough. But for "O" levels, the addition of aluminium foil is to test for the presence of nitrates in a solution, with ammonia gas evolved as an indicator of soluble nitrates being present in a solution.
if u burn pure alumInium, there are no gases evolved, all of your products (aluminium oxide, carbonate in burning in air and not in oxygen) are solid.
