Best Answer

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, so the main processes are:

1. carbon (fuel) + oxygen (air) produced carbon dioxide and heat

2. hydrogen (fuel) + oxygen (air) produces water (usually steam) and heat.

In a typical fuel-burning process, 1 kg of fuel burns with 3.5 kg of oxygen to produce 3.1 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.4 kg of water. This is inescapable because the heat energy is released by the formation of the carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen chemical bonds.

What is in fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?

The heat is produced by the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. So CO2 and water are the necessary products when fossil fuel is burned, without which there would be no heat.
