How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?
Sulphur impurities in fossil fuels can be dealt with through a process called desulphurization. This involves treating the fuels with a desulphurizing agent to remove the sulphur compounds present. Alternatively, low-sulphur fossil fuels can be used, or technologies like fuel scrubbers can be employed to reduce sulphur emissions during combustion.
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
Do all fossil fuels have in contain methane?
No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.
What kind of energy do fossil fuels contain?
potential
Do fossil fuels contain carbon compounds?
yes.
What substances responsible for acid precipitation are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels?
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
What do fossil fuels like oil and coal contain in small amounts as an impurity?
Sulphur Impurities! Coal and oil contain sulfur impurities. When these fuels burn, the sulfur burns too which releases sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas. Sulfur dioxide causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
Is sulfur dioxide given off by burning petroleum?
Some petroleum fuels such as Bunker C or heavy diesel contain significant amounts of sulphidic compounds and some natural fuel gases are known as sour when they contain hydrogen sulfide. In both of these cases when the fuels are burned they will produce sulphur dioxide. In automotive diesel there is a small amount of sulphur. This, because of the combustion conditions, is not released as sulpur dioxide, but as solid sulfate particulate. Fuels which contain no sulphur (refined and treaterd by sulphur removal) do not give off sulphur dioxide.
How much fossil fuels does a blue whale have?
This question makes no sense ! Blue Whales feed on plankton - they don't contain fossil fuels !
What causes acid rain to increase?
Further use of fossil fuels especially those with a high sulphur content.
What human activities relase sulphur dioxide carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels
