The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.

What process is most responsible for the temperature changes that will take place?
Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, which adds extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Where is carbon monoxide found in?
Cigarette's, damaged cookers, recked microwaves and in some alcohol. It's one of the gases that are released when anything burns. It becomes dangerous when the source of the burning isn't vented properly and the carbon monoxide builds up in an enclosed place.
Does adding oxygen increase calorific value of fuels?
No. Oxygen is not a fuel, so it has no calorific value. Some people confuse "combustion" (burning a fuel) with "supports combustion" (allows burning to take place). Oxygen supports combustion, but does not burn itself. Therefore it has no calorific value.
If a candle burning example of?
Candle burning is the process called oxidation. This is, it's the reaction that takes place when a gaseous material reacts with oxygen, the wax needs to change to gaseous state for the reaction to take place.
What part of a burning candle takes place and physical change?
The melting of the wax is a physical change. The burning the of wick is the chemical change
Where does burning fossil fuels take place?
Burning of fossil Fuels takes place in the Engine of you vehicles.If take place in power plants.
How does burning take place using the fire triangle?
the heat needs oxygen to keep burning and to light the flame the fuels need to be burnt
What is the focus of a article called?
Central of burning place
Why do you need to remove Co2 when you burn fuels?
Carbon dioxide is one of the main pollutants causing global warming. By removing CO2 in the first place, a minimal amount is released into the atmosphere during the process of burning fuels.
When we burn fuels what reactions and products are made and what happens when we burn fuels?
Different fuels produce different products. Burning hydrogen produces only water. Burning methane produces both water and carbon dioxide. Burning gasoline produces lots of products. In any event, burning a fuel produces heat that we use for various purposes.

What are the new chemicals called when burning take place?
Burning is a chemical change, and as such, produces new forms of matter that were not there before. These new substances are called products, and in the case of burning, or combustion, they are often water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What are two advantages of fossil fuels?
Two of the advantages of using fossil fuel include reliability and existing engines. Reliability is that they will produce energy once certain circumstances are in place, and most modern machines are tooled for fossil fuels. It would be an expensive retooling to accommodate an alternative fuel.
Is it true that energy in fossil fuels is derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?
Yes, that's where it is usually believed that fossil fuels come from - and that's why they are called "fossil" in the first place.

What gases are produced by burning fuels?
They include: carbon dioxide, water vapour, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. The carbon oxides and water vapour are the primary products. If combustion is complete the CO is converted to CO2, which is less poisonous. Sulphur Dioxide is produced only if the fuel contains sulphur or sulphur compounds in the first place, but this does include coal and oil. Petroleum -based fuels may also produce nitrous oxide under certain circumstances, including in vehicle engines.
Where is carbon monoxide found in?
Cigarette's, damaged cookers, recked microwaves and in some alcohol. It's one of the gases that are released when anything burns. It becomes dangerous when the source of the burning isn't vented properly and the carbon monoxide builds up in an enclosed place.
