What else can I help you with?
Is water vapor produced when fossil fuels are burned?
Yes, when fossil fuels are burned, they release water vapor as one of the byproducts along with carbon dioxide and other pollutants. This water vapor is taken up into the atmosphere where it can contribute to the greenhouse effect and the global water cycle.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
Where does the energy that fuels hurricanes come from?
The energy that fuels a hurricane comes from latent heat stored in water vapor that evaporates from warm ocean water.
What are the problems with water vaper when burned fossil fuels?
When fossil fuels are burned, they release water vapor along with other byproducts like carbon dioxide and pollutants. While water vapor itself is not a pollutant, increased levels can contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Additionally, water vapor can interact with other pollutants in the atmosphere to form acid rain, impacting ecosystems and water quality.
What type of combustion fuels produces carbon dioxide?
Combustion fuels that produce carbon dioxide typically include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they react with oxygen to release energy, resulting in the byproduct of carbon dioxide (CO2) along with water vapor. Biomass fuels, like wood and agricultural waste, also emit CO2 when combusted. Overall, any hydrocarbon-based fuel, when burned, contributes to CO2 emissions.
What fuels produce water when burned?
Fuels that contain hydrogen, such as hydrogen gas, methane, and some hydrocarbons like propane and butane, produce water when they are burned. During combustion, the hydrogen in these fuels combines with oxygen from the air to form water vapor as a byproduct.
What is formed when chemicals from burning fossils fuels mix with water vapor in the air?
Acid RainAnswered by toplop222
What is released when fuels burn in to oxygen?
When fuels burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor are typically released as byproducts along with heat and light energy.
When chemicals from fossil fuels mix with water vapor in the air?
When chemicals from fossil fuels mix with water vapor in the air, they can form acid rain. This acidic precipitation can have harmful effects on the environment, damaging forests, freshwater ecosystems, and buildings. It can also affect human health and wildlife.
What product is released into earth's atmosphere through combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor.
Why do factories give off water?
Oil, gas, or coal power plants will release water vapor as part of the combustion process. When organic matter is burned, the byproducts will be water vapor and carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) can also be released, as well as any other elements that contaminate the fuels: mercury is one common and dangerous pollutant.
What ultimately fuels the water cycle?
Solar radiation ultimately fuels the water cycle. Sunlight heats water on Earth's surface, causing it to evaporate and rise into the atmosphere. This water vapor then condenses into clouds and eventually falls back to Earth as precipitation, completing the cycle.
