What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced when fossil fuels are burned. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are used for energy production.
How can you become carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that on balance, you are not responsible for any increase in carbon dioxide emissions. You would need to get all your electricity from renewable resources. You would not use any fossil fuels. This would also mean that the food you eat is not transported in any fossil fuel burning vehicles.
Is there any way scientists can determine what percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is from the burning of fossil fuels compared to other sources of carbon dioxide such as respiration or for?
Yes, scientists can tell the difference. Carbon dioxide (CO2) released from the burning of long-buried fossil fuels contains carbon of different isotopic ratios to those of living plants. So we can distinguish between natural and man-made CO2.
What is something you burn and it releases carbon dioxide?
Any carbon-containing item that burns in air will form carbon dioxide...so seriously, you could pick just about anything, set it on fire and get carbon dioxide.
What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
What fossil fuel Produces more carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuels?
oil
What fossil fuel produces more carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuel?
oil
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
What produces more carbon diocide than any other fossil fuel?
Coal is known to produce more carbon dioxide when burned compared to any other fossil fuel. This is due to its high carbon content and lower energy efficiency.
Can archaeologists estimate the age of any ancient artifact with carbon dating?
No, only artifacts that were once part of living things can be carbon dated. Thus a piece of carved ivory can be carbon dated, but a stone arrowhead cannot.
Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced when fossil fuels are burned. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are used for energy production.
What energy source causes carbon dioxide?
Burning any of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide.
What provide more carbon dioxide than any other source?
Fossil fuels (coal and methane)
Does a fossil fuel contribute to any type of pollution?
Yes, many contribute to carbon Dioxide pollution
Are any good gases produced when burning fossil fuels?
Not really. Burning fossil fuels releases mainly carbon dioxide. In small quantities this is useful in keeping the earth warm. However carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is not part of the carbon cycle, but extra gas which has been safely sequestered under the ground for millions of years.
Why is bio-diesel considered an alternative fuel?
Bio-diesel is not a fossil fuel, rather it is manufactured from vegetation and algae, so any carbon dioxide it emits when burnt is part of the carbon cycle and does not add to global warming.This is why it is an alternative to fossil fuels.
What element is necessary for the combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon and hydrogen mainly, there are also undesirable smaller quantities of sulfur
