Complete burning of the hydrocarbon portion of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide. Since most fossil fuels contains nitrogenous and sulfurous components also, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide would also be produced by complete combustion.

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.
What is burning of fossil fuel?
We should not burn fossil fuels.
What produces sulfur dioxide?
burning of fossil fuels
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
What is the relationship between burning of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels (combustion) releases carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, presently contributing to global warming, this is why the world is moving away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Could a fossil fuel produce electricity?
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
How does how fossil fuels produce electricity or fuel?
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Why is burning fossil fuels an issue?
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
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.
Do fossil fuels produce CO2 and water when they burn?
Yes. Burning fossil fuels can also produce carbon monoxide as well as lesser amounts of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from impurities present in the fuel.
Burning fossil fuels produces?
sulfur oxide
How is waste used as a type of fuel?
It can be used in incinerators which produce heat as for burning fossil fuels.
