The combustion also produces Sulphur and Nitrogen compounds formed from the oxygen of the air.
These compounds contribute to 'Acid Rain' formation...like H2SO3, H2SO4, HNO3...etc.
Methane (the main constituent of natural gas, as a complete combustion process is...
CH4 + 2O2 ===%26gt; CO2 + 2H2O
Any hydrocarbon fuel by complete combustion, will produce this reaction and other acidic products.
Incomplete combustion, i.e. insufficient oxygen, can also result in the formation of Carbon monoxide (CO) (a deadly gas), Carbon (C) (as soot).Which one of the waste products from the bunsen burners flame contributes to a global environmental problem?A bunsen burner burns natural gas, which is usually a mixture of methane, and other short alkanes (propane, butane, etc.). The combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one "contributes to a global environmental problem".
