Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas released from burnt fossil fuels. It is the most significant gas contributing to global warming.
Fossil Fuels =)
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Fossil fuels that can be obtained using current technology are called proven reserves.
carbon monoxide, CO2, sulpher di oxide
carbon dioxide
Fossil fuel are burnt to release HEAT
Fossil fuels are non-renewable. Once we've burnt them, they're gone!
by being burnt such as coal
When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct along with water vapor and other pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
Common fossil fuels burnt in factories include coal, natural gas, and oil. These fuels are used to generate heat and/or electricity for various industrial processes. However, burning fossil fuels contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt to boil water. The steam under pressure spins an electricity turbine.
Well, fossil fuels don't give the electricity they are part of making it though. By burning fossil fuels it creates steam which turns a turbine that generates electricity.
Personally I used fossil fuels today to boil my kettle, run my laptop on the internet, drive to the shops. Later I will cook my evening meal. All these things use fossil fuels. Electric power uses fossil fuels that are burnt at the nearest power plant.
