Fossil fuels
What else can I help you with?
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
Does gasoline produce greenhouse gas?
Yes, gasoline is a fossil fuel that produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when burned in an internal combustion engine. These greenhouse gases contribute to climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
What greenhouse gases do you get from burning diesel fuel?
Burning diesel fuel releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas. It also produces smaller amounts of other greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Additionally, diesel combustion can emit particulate matter, which contributes to global warming indirectly.
What kinds of combustion fuel produce the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide when burned in combustion processes. Wood and biomass also produce carbon dioxide when burned. These activities contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What role does the combustion of fossil fuels have in the carbon cycle?
The combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This disrupts the balance of the carbon cycle by adding more carbon dioxide than natural systems can absorb, leading to increased levels of carbon in the atmosphere and oceans.
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Burning coal produces which gas?
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
When a candle burns it gives off carbon dioxide and?
WATER! H2O it is a combustion reaction and every combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water
A complete combustion always produces which two compounds?
A complete combustion always produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the final products.
What produces a greenhouse gas when burned?
Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, produces greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
What process produces waste carbon dioxide?
Burning (combustion) of organic substance will produce waste Carbon Dioxide. Also metabolic processes in living things produces waste Carbon Dioxide.
What kind of doxide does coal produce?
Combustion of coal produces Carbon Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide. It also produces Coke(Impure Carbon) , Water vapour, and Ammonia.
Does methane on combustion produces carbon black?
no it means it was an incomplete combustion causing pure Carbon (carbon monoxide or sut).
What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.
How is carbon dioxide formed when petrol burns?
petrol consists of carbon and hydrogen, when it burns it produces carbon dioxide and water if complete combustion occurs
How is the burning of cleared land contributing to greenhouse gas emissions?
Combustion releases carbon dioxide as the carbon in the organic material is joined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.
