Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons. As gas is burned, the compounds are broken down into simplier compounds and the breaking of these compounds releases energy.
Carbon Dioxide
No, natural gas is a carbon-based energy that releases heat when burned.
No, natural gas is a carbon-based energy that releases heat when burned.
Natural gas, methane, contains no sulfur.
It gets its gas from being pressed under the ground for thousands of years and gets burned into gasoline.
Yes, gasoline or petrol is a fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and burning it releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has been hidden away for 300 million years.
Gasoline (gas) is the liquid fuel that provides the energy for the car. It is combusted (explosively burned) in the engine cylinders.
It's the ratio of the number of miles traveled to the number of gallons of gasoline burned.
All fossil fuel when burnt releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.
The chemical energy becomes heat energy when the gasoline is burned. Oxidation releases chemical energy stored in the carbon-carbon bonds of fossil fuels and in the diatomic bonds of O2.
Both contain hydrogen and carbon, and both can be burned as fuel.
