The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
Some do. Coal is a fossil and it changes chemical energy into heat energy on burning it in the presence of oxygen.
carbon dioxide
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Fossil fuel + Oxygen gas > Carbon dioxide + water + heat (apex)
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
Fossil fuels release by burning carbon dioxide and water.
The burning of fossil fuels and the operatio of heavy and chemical industries.
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
Chemical reactions are sources of pollution. Some examples of these reactions are: combustion, burning of fossil fuels and acid rain.
They influence it by burning fossil fuels and pollution in the air which makes carbon dioxide
