What are the byproducts of burning natural gas?
Water and Carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide produced by burning coal and natural gas?
'Is carbon dioxide produced by burning' carbon rich compounds in an oxygen rich environment, I'm only going to give you one guess at this - better make it a good one!
What gas is produced when natural gas is burned?
The burning of fossil fuels (natural gas is a fossil fuel) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
Why has calcium carbonate lost weight after heating?
Because it has decomposed to carbon dioxide and calcium oxide, and the carbon dioxide is gaseous, has dispersed into the natural atmosphere, and therefore is no longer part of the weight.
Is petroleum the cleanest burning fossil fuel?
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
An increase in the average level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is most likely caused by an increase in the?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Burning fossil fuels such as - can rapidly increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Oil,Coal,Natural gas,Petroleum,Diesel,Aviation fuel.
Why is there an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.
What increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.
What is one possible cause of the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the mid 19th century?
The answer is human activity! The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere) are the main causes of the increase.
How does the greenhouse effect increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect happens because of the carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.It is the burning of fossil fuels that increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases age-old carbon dioxide that was laid down underground millions of years ago, so letting it free now puts an impossible burden on the carbon cycle, which cannot remove it.
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.

How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
The overall or net annual concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is being?
The overall or net annual concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide levels is contributing to global warming and climate change.
