The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of the complete combustion of fossil fuels is: CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER.=)
How does the carbon in fossil fuels get into the atmosphere?
The carbon in fossil fuels is released by burning. This combustion emits carbon dioxide, water and some other pollutants depending on how complete the combustion was. This carbon dioxide, which is slightly heavier than air, become mixed all through the atmosphere by the action of the winds.
What type of combustion fuels produces the greenhouse carbon dioxide?
All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)alcoholsbio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)carbon monoxideCoal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What produces a greenhouse gas when burned?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (if the combustion is not complete), nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
What type of combustion fuels produces to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels
Does carbon dioxide support the combustion of fuels such as wood?
It does not support combustion...
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of the complete combustion of fossil fuels is: CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER.=)
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels.?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
What role does the combustion of fossil fuels have in the carbon cycle?
It increases the carbon dioxide in the oceans. It adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
What kind of energy do you start with when burning fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are a source of chemical energy. Chemically conbining the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels with air is combustion and primarily produces carbon dioxide and water. (There are many more details of the chemistry of the specific fossil fuels and many other results of their combustion besides the predominant gasses of water and carbon dioxide.)
What gas does complete burning of fossil fuels produce?
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.
Can carbon dioxide be man made?
yes. by the combustion of carbon containing hydrocarbons or fuels or wood etc
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.
How does burning of fossil fuels affect carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the majority is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Even though Carbon monoxide is also forms but it will not be in appreciable quantity since they get converted to carbon dioxide when combustion gets completed. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that enhances radiative forcing and contributes to global warming. For more information visit the Discussion page.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuel?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
