Kerosene is a heavy mixture of hydrocarbons. Burning it creates water vapour, carbon dioxide (carbon monoxide in low oxygen conditions) and soot (unburnt carbon).
Pouring water on a kerosene fire can spread the flames and cause the fire to intensify due to the kerosene's ability to float on top of the water. This can make the situation more dangerous and difficult to control. It is better to use a fire extinguisher or sand to smother the fire.
Refined kerosene is a type of fuel oil that has undergone a purification process to remove impurities such as sulfur and other contaminants. It is commonly used in heating systems, aircraft, and as a fuel for lamps and lanterns. The refining process makes it a more efficient and cleaner-burning fuel compared to unrefined kerosene.
Burning kerosene releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. It can also release pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can harm air quality and human health. Additionally, the extraction and production of kerosene can have environmental impacts such as habitat destruction and water pollution.
Yes, a kerosene heater works by burning kerosene, which releases energy in the form of heat through a combustion process. This process involves converting the chemical energy stored in kerosene into heat energy that warms up the surrounding area.
It is a chemical change because inside the stove the Kerosene gets burnt and produces flames and energy in the form of heat and light. We cannot get back Kerosene again from the products of is combustion. Hence, we call the combustion of Kerosene as a Chemical Change.
it can on burning!
Because after burning gases are released in the atmosphere.
Because after burning gases are released in the atmosphere.
All I know is that Kerosene is from Petroleum. Therefore the source of Kerosene is Petroleum. Kerosene is poisonous and not clean while burning, so be careful if you're going to burn it. Hope this helps in some way :)
to avoid burning accidents
Same way a regular kerosene lamp is made. It's mainly the casing and the bracket that's different.
A kerosene heater has a wick made of fiberglass that is connected to a kerosene tank. When the wick is lit, the kerosene keeps the wick burning, and a convection unit in the heater uses the flame to heat the air. In some kerosene heaters, there is a fan to blow the heated air into the room to heat it faster.
You should not use a kerosene heater in any enclosed or poorly ventilated space because the carbon monoxide given off when burning the kerosene can accumulate and kill anyone n the space..
Heat it up a little to evaporate the volatile burning elements
Carbon dioxide is the product for burning reaction of kerosene.
it is prepared by burning kerosene oil or vegetable oils in limited supply of air....
A highly flammable liquid, such as gasoline, is best for burning. It is important to exercise extreme caution when handling and burning flammable liquids to prevent accidents and injury.
