How does the burning of hydrocarbons release energy?
The carbon and hydrogen present in the fuel react with the oxygen that taken inside cylinder during induction and the explosion takes place.
What elements does not need to be present for fire to exist oxgen carbon monoxide fuel or combusible material or heat?
Carbon monoxide is NOT required.
Why is petrol regarded as a better fuel than kerosene?
In petrol, the combustion of hydrocarbons present is complete and they burn with blue flame. However, in kerosene, the combustion is not complete. It burns with smoky flame accompanied by the release of unburnt carbon atoms. Therefore, petrol is regarded as a better fuel than kerosene.
When a fuel burns what chemical is produced?
It really depends on what fuel you're talking about, however, the burning of a fuel such as gasoline or an alcohol results when a hydrocarbon molecule from the fuel and oxygen (typically from the air) react in a special type of chemical reaction called a "combustion reaction". Hydrocarbons can come in many different forms, but when they undergo a combustion reaction, the result is always carbon dioxide and water.Here's the form of the reactionC(x)H(x) + O2 --> CO2 + H2Oweird if you ask me...
What two ingredients are necessary for combustion?
Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide, CO2, during the combustion of fuel.
What is the number of the carbon hydrogen and sulfur atoms in a diesel molecule?
Pure diesel does not contain any sulfur atoms. The molecular statement for Diesel is C12H23, which means each molecule of diesel contains 12 Carbon atoms and 23 Hydrogen atoms. Sulfur shows up in diesel because it is in the crude oil originally and the cost of refining out all the sulfur from the diesel is very expensive.
Is diesel fuel organic?
It is a complex carbon molecule, as are all organics.
How many atoms in one fuel molecule?
There are many different chemicals that are used as fuel. Natural gas, also known as methane, has the formula CH4and it consists of five atoms.
How do you create carbon monoxide?
A hydrocarbon fuel burnt in an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen will create water and carbon dioxide, i.e. both the hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms in the fuel combine with two oxygen atoms. However if there is not enough oxygen available the carbon atoms will form a double bond with a single oxygen atom forming carbon monoxide.
If you use charcoal as fuel on the barbecue what happens to the atoms in the charcoal?
it will produce carbon dioxide
How does the burning of hydrocarbons release energy?
The carbon and hydrogen present in the fuel react with the oxygen that taken inside cylinder during induction and the explosion takes place.
How does a carbon molecule get transferred from a fossil fuel to the killer whale?
The fossil fuel is burnt in a machine, it produces carbon dioxide that is dumped out into the atmosphere, some of it dissolves in the ocean, it finds its way to the whale.
Carbon monoxide is present in?
cigarette smoke, automobile exhaust, it can be present in your home if you use gas or fuel oil
What elements does not need to be present for fire to exist oxgen carbon monoxide fuel or combusible material or heat?
Carbon monoxide is NOT required.
If you used charcoal as a fuel what happens to the atoms in the charcoal?
Charcoal is mostly carbon atoms arranged in a solid form, when combusted the carbon is combined with oxygen in the air (burned) to produce carbon dioxide, CO2, which would simply disperse in the atmosphere
How is carbon monoxide produced in car engines?
During the combustion process when the fuel is burned. carbon atoms from the fuel bonds with oxygen atoms. The hotter the combustion the more that is produced, the down side is a hotter combustion is how you get more power for a certain displacement. The catalytic converter is made up of certain metals that helps convert the carbon monoxide it to carbon dioxide.
What happens to the energy content of a fuel as the number of carbon atoms increases?
In this case the heat of combustion decrease.
