Idiotic. Where does the carbon go ?


I see you kept calling people idiot at the times. Listen up Yeah You!
Natural Gas produces so little carbon comparing to carbon from Gasoline and
Diesel fuel.

So little ? Perhaps you'd like to elaborate about that ?

Can Somebody teach the idiot how to distinguish between toxic and non-toxic Gas through the color of the flame itself? Thanks.


Hello Mr. Idiot,
If you examine a flame, you see two things. First, elements within the flame will radiate at the color temperature that they are raised to by the flame. The actual combustion products will be radiating at this temperature. Hotter flames have a higher blackbody radiation frequency, and so appear blue instead of yellow or red.

Also, if you add contaminents, they will also glow, but at a characteristic color for that material. So adding copper or iron or sodium or any other material will cause it to emit specctra characteristic of the material. On this emission is the science of spectromety based.

Now, if you think that different colors of flame allow you to determine toxicity of the combution products, yes it can be indicitive. If you think it is just the difference between blue or yellow or red flames, then I am afraid you have been badly misinformed.

By the way, natural gas is CH4 predominately, which produces one CO2 and 2 H2O molecules for each molecule burned in an oxygen containing atmosphere. Octane and other hydrocarbons just produce differing amounts of these two elements...
