What else can I help you with?
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
Is water considered a fossil fuel?
No, water is not considered a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, while water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
What element is necessary for the combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon and hydrogen mainly, there are also undesirable smaller quantities of sulfur
this fossil fuel provides about 40% of the world energy?
in its early stages this fossil fuel is a spongy brown material
Does hydrogen give off bad gases when you burn it?
When hydrogen is burned, it produces water vapor as the only byproduct. This makes hydrogen a clean and environmentally friendly fuel source compared to fossil fuels, which produce harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide and particulate matter.
Is hydrogen fuel cells fossil fuels?
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
Why will using hydrogen as a fuel lead to reduction in the use of fossil fuels?
Because hydrogen when burnt releases only water as a byproduct. Fossil fuels release pollution in the form of carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, causing global warming. So hydrogen is a much better fuel than fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas).
How is Oil a fossil fuels?
The definition of a fossil fuel is fuel consisting of the remains of organisms preserved in rocks in the earth's crust with high carbon and hydrogen content. Oil is actually being debated as to whether or not it is a fossil fuel. Most scientists support that it is a fossil fuel and we need to conserve it.
Why isn't water a fossil fuel?
Water isn't a fossil fuel because it is not a fossil and it will not burn, having already been completely oxidized. If you want, you can think of it as the ash resulting from burning hydrogen.
Is water considered a fossil fuel?
No, water is not considered a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, while water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
Are fuel cells a fossil fuel?
Fuel conversion cells are made from platinum and convert the material going through the device into heat and electric power (about equally). The element used is often hydrogen. Hydrogen comes from many places, but the practical commercially viable method in use is from stripping all other elements from natural gas. This means that the hydrogen used in most applications is a fossil fuel. This does not mean it must be this way though. Hydrogen could be obtained through the chemical stripping of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This would make fuel cells non fossil fuel based.
Does rockets use fossil fuels?
Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.
Why is hydrogen gas a good option for an alternative fuel to fossil fuel?
fossil fuel may be depleted soon. but hydrogen gas can me made available. also, if there are cheaper ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the better it is as water is available everywhere ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel cells produce hydrogen gas from fossil fuels, and renewable fuel sources. Hydrogen can also be made from other energy (electric) sources and electrolysis of water, but compressing and transporting it poses it's own problems. Despite this, the production of hydrogen as a fuel source uses more energy than can be gained from the hydrogen itself.
Is fossil fuel hydrogen?
All fossil fuels contain complex hydrocarbon chains comprised of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. They also may contain nitrogen, sulfur, moisture, and noncombustible minerals.
What is the common atom in fossil fuel?
Carbon Most common in all fossil fuels is carbon. In natural gas, both hydrogen and carbon are common.
Could hydrogen be good fuel for cars?
Hydrogen could be an excellent fuel for automobiles. The unfortunate part though is that hydrogen is currently made through the stripping of natural gas, so hydrogen would still be using fossil fuels with our current technology.
