Yes, Fossil fuels are oxidized through the application of heat, which acts as a catalyst(increases the rate of reaction) to the exothermic chemical reaction known as combustion. When a fossil fuel is placed in a heated environment, its molecules are excited to the point that they burn, which is the severing of the electrical bonds between the hydrogen and carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon reacts with the oxygen in the air during combustion, forming water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). If not enough heat is applied to the combustion, then the result is a lot of free carbon molecules in the form of soot. High-heat environments provide ample energy to allow the breaking of hydrocarbons into water and carbon dioxide in larger amounts.
The equation is specific to the fuel, but the general form is:
Hydrogen + Carbon + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide (in complete combustion) + Water.
The H and C are from the fuel; the O is from the atmosphere. If combustion is incomplete CO rather than CO2 is produced.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen Oxides
Sulfur dioxides
It is a chemical conversion, carbon and other constituents of coal combine with oxygen and this reaction produces heat.
it is stored as gas and enegry.its decayed plants that lived long ago
Fossil fuel + oxygen gas ---> carbon dioxide + water + heat
Each component has its own combustion equation but the products are the same: carbon dioxide and water.
CO2 - carbon di-oxide.
Combustion
hydrocarbons( carbon and hydrogen)

Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
When fuels are burned their pollution goes into the atmosphere where it mixes with rain, this forms acid rain.
when fossil fuels are burned carbon dioxide is produced. hope this helps if it doesnt look it upon the internet for example type it in another searchengine
In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned
hydrocarbons( carbon and hydrogen)
Yes, that is the primary reason to use fossil fuels.
When fossil fuels are burned they give off heat, the reason why we use them. Then they give gasses such as CO2 for example.
They are burned
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.

Not until burned.
