Depending on the fuel, Oxygen is the main gas.

What gas is needed to burn fuels?

Oxygen is needed to burn fuels as it is required for the combustion process to occur. When fuels are burned, they react with oxygen to produce heat and other byproducts.


Is carbon dioxide needed to burn fuels?

No


Is carbon dioxide needed by fuels so it can burn?

No.


What element is needed for most living things and is needed to make most fuels burn?

That is the element, "Oxygen".


How can you burn fossil fuels in a way that you good for the environment?

You cant, once fossil fuels is burned, the atoms in the fuel is split and produces greenhouse gases


Which gases are released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels burn?

When fossil fuels burn, they release carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to air pollution and are major contributors to global climate change.


When humans burn fossil fuels what is released back.into the atmosphere?

When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and other greenhouse gases are released back into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat and causing global warming and climate change.


Which two words name gases or fuels?

Two words that have the names of gases or fuels include propane and butane. They are highly flammable and can be used in a wide variety of applications where a stored fuel is needed.


When fossil fuels burn do they produce oxygen?

No, fossil fuels do not produce oxygen when they burn. Instead, the combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This process contributes to air pollution and climate change.


When humans burn fossils what is released back into the atmosphere?

When humans burn fossil fuels, such as gasoline or coal, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.


When humans burn fossil fuels what happens?

When humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) they release carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases which is causing global warming and climate change. This burning of fossil fuels happens in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.


What relation is there between greenhouse gases and fossil fuels?

Fossil Fuels --> Hydro-Carbon chains formed from decaying organic matter (animal & plants) When you burn fossil fuels the relating output is HEAT + WASTE GASES. The waste gases can be of several type depending on the hydro-carbon. Most common waste gases when you burn fossil fuels are carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Water Vapor, NOx, SOx emissions. Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Nitrous Oxides are listed as greenhouse gases along with methane & ozone. Greenhouse gases = gases that affect our climate on earth (the listed are the ones that we know will affect us as far as now) So the final relation is burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of green house gases in atmosphere, especially Carbon-Dioxide, Water Vapor & NOx.
