The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.

Where does burning fossil fuels take place?

Burning fossil fuels takes place primarily in power plants, vehicles, and industrial facilities. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to produce energy for electricity generation, transportation, heating, and manufacturing processes, releasing carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere.


How does burning take place using the fire triangle?

the heat needs oxygen to keep burning and to light the flame the fuels need to be burnt


What is the focus of a article called?

Central of burning place


What energy conversion takes place when fuels are burned?

When fuels are burned, potential chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy (heat) and some of it is converted into mechanical energy (work), if used in engines or turbines.


Why do you need to remove Co2 when you burn fuels?

Removing CO2 helps to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment, particularly in terms of global warming and climate change. By capturing and safely storing CO2, it helps to mitigate the negative effects of burning fuels on the planet.


What are two advantages of fossil fuels?

Two of the advantages of using fossil fuel include reliability and existing engines. Reliability is that they will produce energy once certain circumstances are in place, and most modern machines are tooled for fossil fuels. It would be an expensive retooling to accommodate an alternative fuel.


Is it true that energy in fossil fuels is derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?

Yes, that's where it is usually believed that fossil fuels come from - and that's why they are called "fossil" in the first place.


What process is most responsible for the temperature changes that will take place?

Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, which adds extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Where is carbon monoxide found in?

Cigarette's, damaged cookers, recked microwaves and in some alcohol. It's one of the gases that are released when anything burns. It becomes dangerous when the source of the burning isn't vented properly and the carbon monoxide builds up in an enclosed place.


When we burn fuels what reactions and products are made and what happens when we burn fuels?

Different fuels produce different products. Burning hydrogen produces only water. Burning methane produces both water and carbon dioxide. Burning gasoline produces lots of products. In any event, burning a fuel produces heat that we use for various purposes.


What is the only process that puts carbon into the atmosphere?

The process in chemical term called oxidization when atoms of carbon reacts with oxygen and creates carbon dioxide. This takes place with the generation of heat. Chemical reaction can be simply described as: C + O2 = CO2 + Q^ This process takes place when we burn coal, gas, gasoline and other sorts of fuels that mainly contains carbon.
