Oxygen in the air combines with food and fuel during the process of combustion to produce energy, in the form of heat and light. This reaction is vital for organisms to generate the energy needed for various metabolic processes.

What do hydrogen fuel cells burn with?

Hydrogen fuel cells combine hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, heat, and water as byproducts. This process is known as electrochemical conversion.


What part of an engine creates the fumes of compressed gas and air?

In most engines the carburetor is used to ionize the fuel and combine it with air to create the fuel/air mixture. This mixture is then drawn into the piston on the intake stroke. Newer engines use fuel injectors to directly inject fuel into the piston in an electronically monitored ratio depending on oxygen concentration,pressure, and temperature of ambient air

what are the effect of an increasing in the price of gas on the quantity supply and price of food?

Gas (petrol or diesel) is the main substance to fuel transport vehicles including air freight, rail and sea freight as well as road. If the cost of fuel increases then eventually the cost of the products carried will rise pro rata. If fuel is used to make the food, farm the food or to maintain the foods storage capability then the cost will increase the product cost.


Why is water not considered a fuel?

A fuel is a chemical substance that can react with the oxygen in air to form new substances and release energy. Water can not react with the oxygen in air as it is already an oxide. It has no molecular energy stored in it to release.
