What chemical forms from gas coal and oil burning?

What gas goes into the atmosphere when you burn coal oil or gas?

The gas that is released when burning coal, oil, or gas is called carbon monoxide or sulfur. Sulfur is released with the burning of coal and carbon monoxide is what the exhaust of cars is made up of because of the burning of petroleum.


How are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted?

The principle ways carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted is from the burning of fossil fuels. This can be in coal burning to produce electricity. The burning of gasoline and diesel in automobiles and trucks also produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Aviation in all its forms burns Jet Kerosene which is also a major source. Respiration in living things such animals and humans etc, produces carbon dioxide but NOT carbon monoxide in any appreciable quantity.


What is the effect of burning wood and coal?

Burning wood and coal add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, where it joins other greenhouse gases to contribute to the greenhouse effect. Burning wood may only release carbon that has been stored for some years, depending on the age of the tree. Burning wood will usually not add to the normal carbon cycle, especially if another tree is growing in its place. Burning coal, however, releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. This extra carbon disrupts the natural carbon cycle and is causing the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing the present global warming.

Is carbon dioxide released from automobiles?

Carbon dioxide is the primary gas emitted in automobile exhaust. The other is water vapor (oxidation of the hydrogen from long chain hydrocarbons). CO, or carbon monoxide, is also a minor component of automobile exhaust, and can be particularly lethal if allowed to concentrate in an enclosed area.
