What else can I help you with?
Is carbon present in fossil fuels?
Oh yes.
Why should fossil fuels be conserved renewable energy sources are available?
Renewable energy cannot, at present, replace fossil fuels or our use of them.
What type of energy is present in fossil fuels?
they store chemical energy
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur is the element present in impurities in fossil fuels that can produce sulfur dioxide when the fuel burns.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
Why should you keep using fossil fuels?
Because there is no suitable alternative at present
How are fossil fuels converted to fuels?
how r fossil fuels canverted to fuels
How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?
Sulphur impurities in fossil fuels can be dealt with through a process called desulphurization. This involves treating the fuels with a desulphurizing agent to remove the sulphur compounds present. Alternatively, low-sulphur fossil fuels can be used, or technologies like fuel scrubbers can be employed to reduce sulphur emissions during combustion.
What is present in the smoke and fumes given off when fossil fuels are burned?
carbon dioxcide :)
Which energy source accounts for most of the world's present energy use?
fossil fuels
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Are all fossil fuels made up of carbon and hydrogen only?
By definition raw fossil fuels are not required to be purely composed of hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon is by definition, just hydrogen and carbon; however in fossil fuels impurities are present that are often removed in refining. Some forms of fossil fuels have little or no hydrogen present (Coal for example is nearly all Carbon). It is not uncommon to find oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other mineral and chemical components in a fossil fuel outside of pure hydrocarbons. Refineries are designed to take raw fossil fuels (oil for example) and adjust those various components to meet some requirement. A good example is in gasoline and diesel fuels where octane, heptane, butane and sulfur levels can be controlled.
