Oxygen
When hydrocarbon fuels containing sulfur impurities are burned, the sulfur combines with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) during combustion. This process occurs because sulfur is an element present in some fuels, and when it reacts with oxygen from the air at high temperatures, it forms sulfur dioxide gas.
The general equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel such as fossil fuels is: hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water For example, the complete combustion of methane (CH4) would be: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
Burning fossil fuels results in the combustion of hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The general chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon fuel is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy.
This process is called combustion. During combustion, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere.
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon is released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). This process contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global climate change and impacts such as rising temperatures and ocean acidification.
fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned because sulfur is present in them. things like coal which is carbon or gas which is a hydrocarbon are examples of this. fossil fuels are bad because sulfur dioxide causes acid rain. hope this helps :)
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).
In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned

Petrol, diesel and LPG are the main fuels. They are hydrocarbon fossil fuels.
Yes, that is the primary reason to use fossil fuels.
When fossil fuels are burned they give off heat, the reason why we use them. Then they give gasses such as CO2 for example.

They are burned
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
They are burned
Al Gore cried, winned, pouted, and burned fossil fuels
