A laboratory team burns equal masses of wood in a test chamber with different oxygen concentrations in the air supplied. The mass of particulate collected is shown below.
| Oxygen concentration in air supplied (%) | Particulate collected (g) |
|---|---|
| 18 | 0.08 |
| 12 | 0.42 |
| 8 | 0.91 |
Explain the trend shown by the results. Then predict how burning wood with a poor supply of oxygen affects the amount of sunlight reaching the ground.
