Im doing a project in science. The unit is Environmental Chemistry, and the topic I have for the project is forest fires. Can anyone tell me how chemistry fits into this? What chemicals are in forest fires? Are there any elements involved, or compounds? Please, I need answers from somone that really knows the answer.
To have fire you need O2(g) + flammable gas/object + ignition -> CO2 (g)+H2O(g). That is the basic equation to create a fire with oxygen you can not have fire.
