Different fuels produce different products. Burning hydrogen produces only water. Burning methane produces both water and carbon dioxide. Burning gasoline produces lots of products. In any event, burning a fuel produces heat that we use for various purposes.

That's correct. Combustion reactions can produce other products in addition to water and carbon dioxide, depending on the specific fuel and conditions of the reaction. For example, incomplete combustion can result in the formation of carbon monoxide or soot, while combustion of sulfur-containing fuels can produce sulfur dioxide.


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).


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.


Why do you burn fuels and why are these reactions so useful?

Fuels are burned to release energy in the form of heat, which can be used to generate electricity, power vehicles, and heat spaces. These reactions are useful because they are efficient at converting chemical energy into thermal energy, providing power for various applications in our daily lives.
