Carbon dioxide is one of the main pollutants causing global warming. By removing CO2 in the first place, a minimal amount is released into the atmosphere during the process of burning fuels.

What is it called when fossil fuels are burned and turned into co2?
Combustion.
What is the main pollutant created form the burning of fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).Carbon Dioxide. (CO2)
What do you get when you burn ch4 in the presence of o2?
It is a combusion.Water and CO2 is produced
How does combustion affect the atmosphere?
that's wat i wnna no .... CO2 is made when we burn fossil fuels in cars in our homes and in power stations. The amount of cars and power stations however is rising. Also combustion can mean respiration in an organism, and so when all the living things on Earth respire they produce CO2. This means that CO2 levels are steadily rising. Hope that helps :) x
How is Co2 released from vehicles?
Mainly from the exhaust gasses created by the combustion of hydrocarbon-based fuels.
What is made when hydrocarbon fuels burn?
Co2+h2o
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Oxygen is used and CO2 is produced.
Does driving produce co2?
Yes, most vehicles still burn fossil fuels like oil or gas. This releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
How do fossial fuels release corbon dioxcide into the atmoshpere?
You burn them, and the waste smoke and CO2 goes up the chimney and out into the atmosphere.
Do fuels need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. CO2 is a product of combustion. If the concept that LeChatelier proposed is used, the CO2 actually gets in the way of the combustion reaction (burning).
When humans burn fossil fuels what happens?
When humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) they release carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases which is causing global warming and climate change. This burning of fossil fuels happens in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
Burning fossil fuels produces?
sulfur oxide
Why does modern technology release more co2?
Modern technology needs more energy to work, which means more fossil fuels need to be burned. Fossil fuels release CO2. With more fossil fuels being burned because of a higher energy demand from modern technology, more CO2 is released.
Do fossil fuels produce CO2 and water when they burn?
Yes. Burning fossil fuels can also produce carbon monoxide as well as lesser amounts of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from impurities present in the fuel.
Why should you save fossil fuels?
1. Because if they get used ad lib they will run out one day2. When they burn they emit CO2 which is not good for the planet.
When fossil fuels burn what are the reactants?
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
How does the use of biofuel reduce air pollution?
Petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG - there are fossil fuels and when you burn them you emmit enormous quantities of CO2. Biofuels - biodiesel (the most popular) is oil from common plants or oil from a restaurant kitchen. When you burn it, it does not emmit these huge quantities of CO2.
