What gases are produced when natural gas is burnt?
If you acheive perfect combustion then only CO2 and water are produced. If there is not the right ratio of fuel to air or if there is other substances in the gas then you could end up with carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, or sulfates that produce acid rain.
What percent of gasoline burned in an ICE actually moves the driver?
Working on Hydrogen On Demand system. We would like to know % gasoline burned in engine. Currently we have 70% burned with rest burned in catalytic converters (2) for pollution control. We want to use HHO to get 100% burn as HHO burns at 5600 degrees F. What is best answer? HHO from electrolysis burns at abour 5600 deg. F. from our data. What temperature does gasoline and air burn in the engine? Seems hard to find data. - - - - - It's not THAT hard to find the temperature...the adiabatic flame temperature (a theoretical construct that assumes no heat loss) is 3500 degrees F. In the real world it's about 2800 F. The efficiency of a piston engine is about 20 percent. You've got to overcome friction in the engine, for one thing. HHO is not going to help you get 100-percent fuel burn. There are a lot of reasons you don't get 100 percent burning - they intentionally put more fuel in the engine than can be burned (it's called a "rich" mixture) because if you have too much air, the engine runs real hot and burns up. If you throw HHO in there, you'll get 100-percent combustion of the hydrogen...but when you dissociate water into HHO gas, you provide a perfect stochiometric ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, so there's no more air in there to burn gasoline than there was before. (Having said that, you will need less gasoline per stroke to get the engine to move because part of the fuel is hydrogen...but your engine will need more gasoline because it requires more power to electrolyze water than the hydrogen and oxygen can return to you when you burn it, and the place you're going to get the power to electrolyze the water is from your engine.) If it was me, I would forget about the overhyped HHO thing and put a really small turbo on the engine - not to get big big power, but to increase the amount of turbulent air flowing into the cylinders.

A man homozygous for the perfect pitch trait marries a women without perfect pitch What is the probability that any of their three children will NOT have perfect pitch?
If perfect pitch is dominant you could have this. PP X pp Then all of the children will have perfect pitch. If perfect pitch is recessive, then; pp X Pp then there is only a 50% chance of any one child having perfect pitch. In the future be more precise.
Is Jewell and Dalton perfect together?
Hell yes they are a perfect couple
What gas occurs while burning fossil fuels?
carbon dioxide and water vapor are the two gases in the correct and complete combustion of any fossil fuel. Other byproduct can occur if the process is not perfect. Carbon Monoxide is one of the chief gases from incomplete burning. Many other gases can be released during the burning process that are not an actual part of the combustion. They vary depending on the fuel.
Car back fireing?
If it is just backfiring, it would be one of two problems that i personally know of. First guess would be that your engine timing is off. That would consist of valves not opening and closing at the proper time. When the engine's pistons are at Top Dead Center (TDC), both valves should be closed to achieve sufficient compression to support perfect combustion. If intake or exhaust valves are not opening or closing at the proper times, the spark plug will ignite the gasoline vapors at the wrong time, when a valve is barely opened or not quite closed. The outcome from these things; compression from the piston thrusting upwards, spark igniting gasoline vapors, and a valve that is barely open, or not quite closed will make a gunshot like sound. My second guess would be, the engine is getting too much fuel, if you have a fuel injected car this is less likely the case, not impossible, but less likely. Mostly carberuated engines will have this problem, the carberuator will allow too much gasoline into the engine cylinders. when the combustion occurs, it is prolonged. Therefore the exhaust valve will open before combustion is complete. The outcome is the same as if the timing were off. you have compression, combustion and an open valve basically resulting in a gunshot like sound. A less likely problem would be a fouled plug. If you have a fouled spark plug, the cylinder may only achieve combustion every few revolutions. By that time, too much gasoline is in the individual cylinder causing a prolonged combustion. If you need to know possibles fixes and how to's for these problems, just let me know.
What is incomplete combustion?
Reaction or process that does not convert all of the fuel's carbon and hydrogen into carbon dioxide and water, respectively. For example, incomplete combustion of carbon produces carbon monoxide.It is also a flame, but this flame is a jellow one so is not as harmfullHowever none of these answers will help with your homework when you are in year 7.
How can you tell that complete combustion has not occurred?
Complete combustion is very hard to obtain, unless you have nearly perfect conditions and little cause for error.
Why is hydrogen the perfect fuel?
In many ways, hydrogen is the perfect fuel. It is the cleanest burning and the most efficient. :)
Why is converting coal into electricity inefficient?
Burning coal requires between 100 and 150% excess air for complete combustion. Excess air is the air supplied for combustion more then the air required for perfect combustion. Perfect combustion is the minimum amount of air, if all the oxygen is used, to completely burn the coal, (this is impossible). Oil requires 30-50% excess air and Natural gas requires 10-30% excess air for complete combustion. So combustion of coal is less efficient than these. However, the process of generating steam and producing electricity otherwise is no less efficient than any other means. Excess air as a result carries more heat up the stack which cannot be recovered, thus the reduction in efficiency. Overall this reduction in efficiency only amounts to about a 5% reduction in plant generating efficiency, or less.
Which is worse to the air the burning of coal or internal combustion engines?
The question cannot be answered unless you define what you mean by "worse". Both pollute. You also have to describe the conditions under which the coal is burnt. Burning high sulfur coal can produce oxides of sulfur that cause acid rain but emissions regulations may require scrubbers on coal-fired power plants that remove the oxides of sulfur. Internal combustion engines in new cars have catalytic converters that remove oxides of sulfur and nitrogen. Diesel engines may not be regulated to have catalytic converters. Lawnmower and motorcycle engines generally don't have catalytic converters either. The cleanest coal and the cleanest internal combustion (gasoline) engine both dump carbon dioxide into the air. For the same weight of fuel burnt, coal produces about twice as much energy (A pound of coal produces 43000 btu and a pound of gasoline produces 18000 btu). 1 pound of coal produces 3.3 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 1 pound of gasoline produces 2.8 pounds of CO2. This assumes perfect burning. Based on this, alone, coal produces half as much CO2 for the same amount of energy. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas and is credited with causing global warming. If the internal combustion engine uses hydrogen for fuel, the engine dumps only water and a small quantity of nitrogen oxides into the air... but, in order to make the hydrogen, you would need to use about twice as much electrical energy as ends up stored in the hydrogen - probably from burning, you guessed it, coal.
Can people achieve success only if they aim to be perfect?
no
Carbon monoxide may be produced in the process of burning of fossil fuels?
If the burning is incomplete it will. Ideally perfect burning of fuel produces water vapor and carbon dioxide.
