What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels Apex?
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Word equation for burning fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
What can happen to the carbon compounds in Organisms that die and decay in the absence of oxygen?
They turn into fossil fuels.
Is oxygen present in fossil fuel?
Turn out that it is not present (OXYGEN in fossil fuels).
How does carbon end up in fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil natural gas, peat) are made from ancient plant and animal life. Plants and animals are mde from carbon compounds. As a consequence, fossil fuels contain carbon.
Do fossil fuels contribute to the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle?
yes
What does the burning of fossil fuels release into the carbon-oxygen cycle?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Why is dead organic matter important to the carbon- oxygen cycle?
Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.
Is the role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle?
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
What Fossil fuels are part of which cycle?
All fossil fuels are part of the carbon cycle.
Which biogeochemical cycle includes a reservoir underground stored as fossil fuels?
Carbon Cycleor if you want to call it the Carbon/ Oxygen Cycle
Does burning fossil fuels affect the water cycle?
No, the burning of fossil fuels affects the carbon cycle, but not the water cycle.
What is the cycle which includes an underground reservoir in the form of fossil fuels?
The carbon cycle is the cycle which includes an underground reservoir in the from of fossil fuels.
Which cycle involves volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels?
The carbon cycle.
Which cycle is directly affected by burning fossils fuels?
The carbon cycle, because the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is alternative fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
