Carbon fuels of which petrol is one when used as a fuel will breakdown and give off carbon dioxide, thus releasing the stored energy. The carbon molecules combine with oxygen needed for ignition and the resulting excess becomes CO2 (a gas)
When Hydrogen is used as a fuel igniting with oxygen the resulting by product is mainly H2O (water and water vapour)

But when you burn NON-fossile methane (as from anaerobic fermetation of cellulositic (agricultural) waste), it is still better to burn it because CH4 in escaped air is more 'greenhouse' affective gas than the same amount of CO2 escaping after you've burnt it and it is 'green gas', so you save fossile energy resources.

∙ 13y agousing hydrogen as a fuel creates water vapour as a product this is considered clean but it does still are part of green house gasses and reflect and distort light from the sun and also at the moment the ammount of energy it takes to hydrolise water (split it into hydrogen and oxygen) is more than burning the hydrogen so you still have to burn fossil fuels to get the hydrogen in the first p lace so whoever invents a method that uses less energy will become the richest person on earth.

How much pollution does a truck produce?
A large truck would produce as much as pollution as 150 cars!
What would adding sodium hydride to ethanol produce?
you will get Sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas
What volume of nitrogen at 215 C and 715mmHg would be required to react with 0.1 mol of hydrogen to produce ammonia?
the answer would be 5.9
Is there a temperature that is too cold for fire to burn?
Well first, lets get a little technical and understand that "fire" is a byproduct of a process called combustion (type combustion into google to get all sorts of techie stuff). The bottom line is NO. The reason is because combustion and its temperature rely on the internal energy of the material that is combusting (burning). Hydrogen is has the smallest enthalpy, so it is what we should look at first. The combustion temperature of hydrogen is about 550 degrees Celsius. Which is far from what you would consider "cold". Since it isn't possible to find an element more basic and with a lower enthalpy than hydrogen, this is where this particular journey into the science of combustion ends.
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
Why would using hydrogen as a fuel cause no pollution?
well its cause they didn't produce it
What is a sentence with hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the simplest element in the universe. Combining hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell would produce energy without pollution.
What is a challenge to using hydrogen as a fuel because hydrogen powered cars create less pollution than gasoline powered cars?
New fueling stations that can handle hydrogen would have to be built.
Which fuel causes minimum environmental pollution. A hydrogen B coal C diesel D kerosene?
hydrogenA2:Coal is the fuel that produces the least pollution among the choices. Hydrogen would be the least polluting except for the reality that hydrogen is produced by burning coal to produce electricity to electrolyse water. Only if the electricity used to produce the hydrogen were produced by hydro, wind or solar, would hydrogen be less polluting than coal.
How much pollution does a truck produce?
A large truck would produce as much as pollution as 150 cars!
What other combustion reactions would produce carbon dioxide and water vapor?
Any combustion of an organic material produce carbon dioxide and water vapors.
If you wanted to make nonpolluting fuel gas how would you do it?
The closest to a non-polluting gas would be hydrogen as the principle combustion product would be water. ANy flammable gas with carbon, sulfur or nitrogen would produce contaminants. The gas would have to be combusted in a low temperature environment like a fuel cell to avoid the formation of nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber. If a high temperature system (internal combustion engine) is considered the combustion air would have to be nitrogen free - pure oxygen or an inert gas/nitrogen free/oxygen mix
Does the sun's energy come from the burning combustion of hydrogen?
No. The sun's energy comes from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen, not combustion. In this reaction hydrogen atoms fuse with one another to form helium atoms. The fusion of hydrogen yields about 4.5 million times more energy than you would get from burning the same amount.
How many moles of oxygen would be needed for the complete combustion of the 3 moles of the hydrogen?
1 mole
How much hydrogen would be required to produce 7.5 mol of water?
3,75 moles hydrogen
How would pollution affect living organisms that rely cohesion?
It effects them because when the hydrogen bonds form the pollution will also go into the formation too.
Which would cause a gas furnace to produce a large amount of carbon monoxide?
incomplete combustion
