Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon Dioxide. (CO2)
The chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels can be represented by the general formula: ( \text{hydrocarbon (fuel)} + \text{oxygen} \rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{water} + \text{heat} ). This represents the combustion reaction where hydrocarbons in fossil fuels react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.
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.
The blank space can be filled with "oxygen." The balanced chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels is fossil fuels (composed of carbon and hydrogen) + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + Heat.
Sulfur dioxide is a gas that can be found in volcanic emissions, industrial processes (such as burning of fossil fuels), and some natural processes like forest fires. It is also a common air pollutant.
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
One example of a deadly pollutant not created by fossil fuels is highly toxic radioactive waste, which is the bi-product of using radioactive isotopes.
The enviromental problem caused by burning fossil fuels is air pollution.Global warming
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Buring of fossil fuels
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is the main source of air pollution, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) (a greenhouse gas classified as a pollutant when it is added to the atmosphere).
fossil fuels
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
burning fossil fuels is bad for cats because it makes them fall from places they are :P
Yes, the burning of fossil fuels causes air pollution, mainly carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, which the US Supreme Court has recently authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to treat as a pollutant.
There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels. These include pollution and also burning fossil fuels has a mesurable cooling effect on the climate.There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are clean burning and will not be bad for the environment. We will never run out of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are good for our health. These are a few that are not true about fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
