The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
fossil fuel
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Fossil fuel + Oxygen gas > Carbon dioxide + water + heat (apex)
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Fossil fuel.
Fuel+oxygen --> carbon dioxide+water
Chemical energy
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
carbon dioxide
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
the chemical which are present in these when burnt release energy
