Why has the twentieth century been called the hydrocarbon century?
It was called the hydrocarbon century due to abundant usage of fossil fuels.
What is it called when fossil fuels are burned and turned into co2?
Combustion.
How is energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
When fossil fuels are burned their chemical potential energy is converted into?
thermal energy.
How do the combustion of some impurities in hydrocarbon fuels result in the formation of sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is the product of burning (oxidation) of organosulfur compounds from fossil fuels.
Why do fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned?
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 :)
When a fossil fuels burned what energy is converted to kinetic energy?
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).
What is in fossil fuels?
In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned
What powers cars?
Petrol, diesel and LPG are the main fuels. They are hydrocarbon fossil fuels.

Do fossil fuels provide heat when they are burned?
Yes, that is the primary reason to use fossil fuels.
What fuel powers cars?
Petrol, diesel and LPG are the main fuels. They are hydrocarbon fossil fuels.
What happens to fossil fuels when there burned?
When fossil fuels are burned they give off heat, the reason why we use them. Then they give gasses such as CO2 for example.
How do fossil fuels make elecricity?
They are burned
What are the pro's about fossil fuels?
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
