I made another fire in the forest this evening when it got dark.
A more detailed Chemical Reaction, for wood burning, from the internet is:
"For simplicity, we deal with the formula of cellulose, whose formula is more or less that of wood...., i.e. C6H10O5 Explanation:
And so we got thru the usual rigmarole...balance the carbons as carbon dioxide......and then the hydrogens as water, AND then balance the oxygens...
C6H10O5(s)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g)+5H2O(l)"
So basically, we have wood (C6H10O5 in the solid form) plus Oxygen (6O2 in the gaseous form) yielding six Carbon Dioxides (6CO2 in the gaseous form) and five Waters (5H2O in the liquid form).
