Carbon monoxide is not a fossile fuel. CO can result from incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel. Incomplete combustion will only occur when there isn't enough oxygen to allow the fuel to react completely to produce carbon dioxide and water. It also happens when the combustion is quenched by a heat sink such as a solid surface or flame trap.
For most fuels, such as diesel oil, coal or wood, pyrolysis occurs before combustion. In incomplete combustion, products of pyrolysis remain unburnt and contaminate the smoke with noxious particulate matter and gases. Partially oxidized compounds are also a concern; partial oxidation of ethanol can produce harmful acetaldehyde, and carbon can produce toxic carbon monoxide.
The quality of combustion can be improved by design of combustion devices, such as burners and internal combustion engines. Further improvements are achievable by catalytic after-burning devices (such as catalytic converters) or by the simple partial return of the exhaust gases into the combustion process. Such devices are required by environmental legislation for cars in most countries, and may be necessary in large combustion devices, such as thermal power plants, to reach legalemission standards.
The degree of combustion can be measured and analyzed, with test equipment. HVAC contractors, firemen and engineers use combustion analyzers to test the efficiency of a burner during the combustion process. In addition, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine can be measured in this way, and some states and local municipalities are using combustion analysis to define and rate the efficiency of vehicles on the road today.
No, carbon dioxide COMES FROM a fossil fuel when it is burned. Like coal, oil or natural gas.
No, it is the product of burning fossil fuels.
yes, fossil fuel is the decomposed remnants of once living things. All living things contain carbon, so basically fossil fuel is just mostly carbon.
Yes
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
Trtyyu
Fossil fuels were at one time living organisms (usually plants). The plants took in carbon dioxide from the air and then release oxygen. The carbon is stored in the plant. When the plant dies, the carbon stays in it, throughout the transformations it goes through to become a fossil fuel. When the fuel is burned, the carbon is release in the burning process, usually in the form of carbon dioxide.
Fuel+oxygen --> carbon dioxide+water
hydro-carbon
No, carbon is in fossil fuels.
yes
Yes, coal is a carbon based fossil fuel.
carbon monoxide
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
oil
Yes, the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. This is what is causing global warming and climate change.
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
carbon dioxide
Because it's a fossil fuel. It has carbon in it.
Carbon Most common in all fossil fuels is carbon. In natural gas, both hydrogen and carbon are common.
