Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons. On combustion, it produces mainly carbon dioxide and water vapour.
However, on incomplete combustion, they produce carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons etc. They also produce oxides of nitrogen.

How do primary pollutants form?
There are two main types of primary pollutants: man-made pollutants and natural pollutants. Man-made primary pollutants are formed largely from combustion reactions used to create electricity and run the over one billion cars that are in the world today. These pollutants include Sulfur oxides (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfur trioxide), Carbon oxides (Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide), and Nitrogen oxides (Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide). Another type of man-made primary pollutant includes VoCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are largely responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Natural primary pollutants are formed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, and volcano eruptions, and include dust, ash, and salt particles.
Two main chemicals react in sunlight and stagnant air to produce ground-level ozone What are they called?
Ozone's chemical composition is O3. It is formed when ultraviolet radiation first breaks the chemical bond between O2, forming 2 free oxygen atoms. These two free atoms then each combine with an O2 molecule forming two O3 molecules.
What two pollutants combined with water vapor in the air to produce acid rain?
what is formed when these gases combine with water vapor in the air?
What are the two pollutants formed when methanol burns in a restricted supply of oxygen?
carbon monoxide (CO) and particulates (tiny black solid in the air)
What two products are formed when burning a fuel?
Products formed when fossil fuels are burnt are: 1. Carbon dioxide (for complete combustion) 2. Carbon Monoxide (for incomplete combustion) 3. Water. Hope this helped :)
Which two fossil fuels were formed from the remains of marine organism?
petroleum and natural gas
What is primary pollution?
Pollution is any foreign substance present in more concentration than safer limits. They are two types of pollutants 1. Primary pollutants 2. Secondary pollutants Primary pollutants are those which generated directly from Source . That type of pollution is generally termed as primary pollution. Ex : Carbondioxide , Sulphur dioxide etc in case of Air pollution Secondary pollutants are those which formed by the combination of more than two or more primary pollutants Ex : Ozone , Photo chemical smog in case of air pollution
How many carbon dioxide molecules will be formed in two ethane molecules?
Ethane does not have any molecule of carbon dioxide. However when ethane undergoes combustion then two molecules of carbon dioxide are formed (as ethane contains two carbon atoms).
When carbon dioxide is formed when two oxygen atoms chemically combine with a carbon atom?
Carbon dioxide is the product of a combustion reaction.
What gaseous compound is formed when carbon burn in o2?
When a carbon compound is burned it is burned through a process called combustion (for example: the combustion of a hydrocarbon). The two substances that almost always form in a combustion of a carbon compound is ...... H20 ----water and CO2 --------- carbon dioxide
In combustion is carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide formed always formed?
The combution process is two stage, carbon monoxide is formed first and if excess oxygen is present an the carbon monoxide reacts with additional oxygen to form carbon dioxide. 2C + O2 ---> 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2
What two substance are formed when methane is burned in plenty of oxygen?
When methane is burned in oxygen, assuming complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water.
