What are gas oil and coal called?
Fossil fuels.
Are all fossil fuels made up of carbon and hydrogen only?
By definition raw fossil fuels are not required to be purely composed of hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon is by definition, just hydrogen and carbon; however in fossil fuels impurities are present that are often removed in refining. Some forms of fossil fuels have little or no hydrogen present (Coal for example is nearly all Carbon). It is not uncommon to find oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other mineral and chemical components in a fossil fuel outside of pure hydrocarbons. Refineries are designed to take raw fossil fuels (oil for example) and adjust those various components to meet some requirement. A good example is in gasoline and diesel fuels where octane, heptane, butane and sulfur levels can be controlled.
Is it true that halogens are the basis of all fossil fuels?
No, halogens are not the basis of all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily made up of hydrocarbons, which are compounds of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, like chlorine and fluorine, are not typically found in significant amounts in fossil fuels.
How is fossil fuels man made?
A fossil is a relic of earlier times, that is found in the ground. By definition, it is not man made. People can make fuel, for example, we can grow corn, and then extract corn syrup, ferment it to make alcohol, and burn the alcohol. But that is not a fossil fuel. Petroleum, natural gas, and coal are the fossil fuels. We did not make them, they have been in the ground for a long time before we came along.
Do all fossil fuels have in contain methane?
No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.
Are fossil fuels used to produce energy?
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
What is the scientific definition of hair?
Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the outer layer of skin. It is mainly composed of keratin and serves various functions, including insulation, protection, and sensory perception.
What fossil fuel is used faster than it is replaced?
All fossil fuels are being used faster than they are replaced. Fossil fuels by definition take millions of years to form.
Does Australia have enough fossil fuels to last forever?
I would have to say no, because no fossil fuels last forever, as they are nonrenewable resources and the definition of nonrenewable is that they will eventually become nonexistent.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
What is a shorter definition for fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are natural fuels formed from the remains of living organisms that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Examples include coal, oil, and natural gas.
How are fossil fuels converted to fuels?
how r fossil fuels canverted to fuels
Why does the world have a small quantity of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas were formed over millions of years. By definition, the world is a finite place and so must fossil fuels be. They can not be instantaneously replaced. It is why the world is trying to move to renewables such as tidal, wind, wave, solar etc
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Is fossil fuels a product?
Is fossil fuels a product?
What statement about fossils fuels is not true?
Fossil fuels are clean burning and will not be bad for the environment. We will never run out of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are good for our health. These are a few that are not true about fossil fuels.
Are all the fuels fossil fuels?
No Solar and wind power are both not fossil fuels.
