It is formed by intense heat burning the carbon so hot that the oxygen can then join up with it, creating CO2.

How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?

In a coal-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when coal is burned in the presence of oxygen during the combustion process. The carbon in the coal combines with oxygen to form CO2 as a byproduct. In a gas-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when natural gas is burned in a similar combustion process, where the carbon in the gas combines with oxygen to produce CO2.


How much CO2 is produced by a 10 Megawatt power station?

The amount of CO2 produced by a 10 Megawatt power station would depend on the type of fuel it uses. For example, a coal-fired power station would produce around 25,000 tons of CO2 per year, while a natural gas power station would produce around 15,000 tons of CO2 per year.


Write down the equation for the complete combustion of coalrepresented as carbon in a power station?

C + O2 -> CO2


Why is CO2 and H2O released from a gas fired power station but not from a coal fired power station?

The gas used for burning contains both carbon and hydrogen; coal does not (it consists mainly of carbon).


Do nuclear power station produce co2?

No, nuclear power stations do not produce carbon dioxide (CO2) during the electricity generation process. Nuclear power generates electricity by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission, which does not involve the combustion of fossil fuels that produce CO2 emissions.


Does hydro electric power station produce CO2?

No because it does not burn any fuel, the energy comes from falling water that turns turbine blades.


Can i shoot a co2 bb gun revolver with no co2?

No it won't fire, Co2 is the power source that power the gun.


What two gases are formed when you burn methane?

CO2(g) + H2O(g) (carbon dioxide + water) are formed CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O


How is carbon monoxide formed when hydrocarbons burn?

with CO2


The first stable compound produced from CO2 in the light-independent reactions is?

The first stable compound produced from CO2 in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis is called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). This compound is formed through the fixation of CO2 by the enzyme Rubisco during the Calvin cycle.


What houses make electricity into co2?

There are NO houses that make electricity into CO2. Electrical equipment has no CO2 outlet. The CO2 is produced at the power plant that supplies the house, so when you plug in a kettle, for example, the generator at the power plant works a tiny bit harder and produces more CO2. The CO2 produced is closely matched with the power that is generated there.
