What is produced when hydrocarbon fuels burn inside an engine?

When fuels such as coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air?
when fuels such as coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air true or false
What substances does fuel usually contain?
Most fuels are based on hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned (oxidized), a significant amount of chemical energy is released in the form of heat.
What do air and fuels have in common?
They can both be burned at high pressures
What energy source produces carbon dioxide and water when burned?
Any fossil fuels, hydrocarbons like coal, oil and natural gas, release carbon dioxide and water when burned.
Why does Coal usually produces more soot than other fossil fuels when burned?
Coal contains hydrocarbons with a high ratio of carbon to hydrogen.
What are hydrocarbons and what are they widely used for?
Hydrocarbons are natural or artificial compounds that contain hydrogen-carbon bonds that can release energy when oxidized (mainly burned). Fossil fuels are organic hydrocarbons and are widely used to generate energy. Simpler inorganic hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane exist in substantial quantities on other planets and moons.
What are hydrocarbons used for not as fuels?

Where do hydrocarbons in petrol and diesel come from?
