The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:-
fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Carbon dioxide
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
carbon dioxide
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
Fossil fuels release by burning carbon dioxide and water.
Fossil Fuel+oxygen =>carbon dioxide +water Fossil fuel +02 => C02 +H20
The chemical reaction caused by burning fossil fuels produces a large amount of thermal energy. This principle is the main reason that fossil fuels are obtained.
The burning of fossil fuels and the operatio of heavy and chemical industries.
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.

fossil fuels
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
