What else can I help you with?
When fossil fuels are burned carbon dioxide and water are produced what elements must be contained in fossils fuels?
hydrocarbons( carbon and hydrogen)
Which is more dangerous hydrocarbons or hydrogen fuel?
Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
Why coal is a hydrocarbon?
Coal is considered a hydrocarbon because it is primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. When coal is burned, it undergoes combustion with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of heat and producing carbon dioxide and water vapor as byproducts. This combustion process is characteristic of hydrocarbons.
What is a hydrocarbon compound made of?
FOR THE ANSWER LOOK IN A Glencoe PHYSICAL SCIENCE Textbook. i recommend the one with the roller coaster on the front. then go to page 700 and you will get your answer
Is the gas necessary for combustion to take place carbon dioxide?
No, carbon dioxide is not necessary for combustion to take place. Combustion requires fuel, oxygen, and heat to occur. Carbon dioxide is one of the products of combustion when hydrocarbons are burned in the presence of oxygen.
When fossil fuels are burned carbon dioxide and water are produced what elements must be contained in fossils fuels?
hydrocarbons( carbon and hydrogen)
When gasoline is burned is carbon dioxide produced?
Certainly. All hydrocarbons produce carbon dioxide when burned.
How is carbon dioxide given off when wax is burned?
wax is a hydocarbon( a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon only).all hydrocarbons give carbon-dioxide and oxygen on combustion cxHy + O2 ---> CO2 + H2
What fuels are in the air when hydrocarbons are burned?
sulphur oxicide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon.
What are the elements contained in fossil fuels that when burned the result is carbon dioxide and water?
Being comprised of many different chemical forms, the smallest Answer is Hydrocarbons; in other words, hydrogen and carbon.
How does the burning of hydrocarbons release energy?
When hydrocarbons are burned, the chemical bonds in the molecules are broken, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process involves combining the hydrocarbons with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which leads to the release of energy that was stored in the bonds of the hydrocarbons.
If you burn hydrogen do you get carbon dioxide?
No, burning hydrogen does not produce carbon dioxide. When hydrogen is burned, it reacts with oxygen to form water vapor, releasing energy in the process. Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon-containing fuels, such as fossil fuels, are burned.
What happens to carbon when isooctane burns in a car's engine?
When hydrocarbons are burned, carbon dioxide is formed. If the hydrocarbon is burned in low amount of oxygen, carbon monoxide can be formed. Carbon monoxide is harmful for animals.
Which is more dangerous hydrocarbons or hydrogen fuel?
Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
Does gasoline have carbon?
Yes. Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What organic compounds are produced when materials containing carbon and hydrogen are burned?
Hydrocarbon is an organic compound which is entirely made up of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are the main source of the world’s electric energy and heat because of the energy produced when they are burned.
Is it true when compounds containing hydrogen are burned in air the products are usually carbon dioxide and water?
This statement is true, but only because of the word "usually" in the question and the fact that most compounds that contain hydrogen and are burned also contain carbon. The large group of hydrocarbons and most of their derivatives are in this class. However, if a compound, such as ammonia, that contains hydrogen but no carbon is burned in air, the burning will produce water but no carbon dioxide. A fundamental rule pertaining to the question is that no new element, and therefore no new compound containing that element, can be created by a chemical reaction. There is no substantial amount of carbon in air except the carbon in carbon dioxide. That carbon is already in its highest possible oxidation state, and burning is an oxidizing process for every element involved except oxygen and fluorine. As a result, burning in air can not result in producing new carbon dioxide if the substance burned does not contain carbon.
