What waste products are produced when fossil fuels are burnt?
carbondioxide is the gas produced
What are the main products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
The main products of an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels are still going to be carbon dioxide and water. There will also be some carbon monoxide and a lot of polycyclical aromatic compounds.
What are the products of this reaction fossil fuel oxygen gas?
Carbon dioxide + water + heat
Dose using fossil fuels like coal lead to an increase in acid rain?
Yes it Does
Fill in the blank Burning such as coal or natural gas can increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
fossil fuels
What are products made from fossil fuel?
The main products from petroleum are gasoline, motor oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, plastic products, engine grease, cosmetics, synthetic rubber, paint, and many misc. products.
Is plastic a sustainable resource?
It depends, plastic is recyclable - it is a matter of opinion really. It is sustainable if the plastic is based on a non-fossil organic product such as corn instead of petroleum products.
Is fossil fuel made out of plastic?
No, but plastic can be made from fossil fuels.
What could happen to the US economy if the price of fossil fuels rose dramatically?
the cost of products would increase significantly
Which non renewable source made plastic?
Synthetic plastic is made from the non-renewable source petroleum. When we think of oil shortages we tend to focus on gasoline ignoring or perhaps being unaware of the many other products derived from oil refinement. See the link below for a simple explanation of how plastics are made:
What are the problems if fossil fuels run out?
If the world runs out of fossil fuels and hasn't developed sufficient alternate energy sources, an energy crisis will ensue. Most people will be forced to do without privately owned vehicles for transportation, and basic services such as electricity, water and sewage may be disrupted or discontinued. Also, fossil fuels provide many of the raw materials used to create plastics and synthetic products such as fabrics - without fossil fuels these products may no longer be available.
Why must we be interested in saving fossil fuels?
We need to conserve fossil fuels because they are non-renewable. Once our reserves are depleted, we will have to come up with synthetic fuels. We do have synthetic oil, but not in the quantities that the world needs.
What are the causes of environmental Pollution in India?
deforestation due to heavy population , burning of fossil fuels , use of plastic products , factories , decrease in plantation of trees etc.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuel?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels.?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
Is a necklace a nonrenewable resource?
A manufactured good, such as a necklace, is generally not considered a resource. So, I will answer the following question: To make a necklace, do we need to use non-renewable resources, either directly or indirectly? The answer is yes. I will assume that the necklace is made of beads. If these are made of glass, then most people would agree that glass is renewable as sand is abundance. However, energy is consumed in the production of glass, most likely this means burning fossil fuels which are not renewable. If your necklace is made of plastic beads, it is different. Plastic manufacter requires petrochemicals, so we are consuming fossil fuels to make plastic beads. In summary, glass products require indirect use of fossil fuel and plastic products require direct use of fossil fuels.
Does recycling plasic conserve fossil fuels?
Yes, because if we recycle plastic means that we don't have to waste money mining raw materials.
