What energy is converted to kinetic energy when a fossil fuel is burned?
The chemical energy was stored in the fossil fuel millions of years ago when the Sun's energy was used in photosynthesis to separate carbon and oxygen atoms from atmospheric carbon dioxide. The carbon was used by the plants to form tissues while the oxygen was released into the air. It's this energy that is released by the formation of carbon-oxygen atomic bonds as carbon dioxide is generated when the fuel is burned.
What is in fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
The heat is produced by the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. So CO2 and water are the necessary products when fossil fuel is burned, without which there would be no heat.
Why do candles need oxygen?
YES. The available amount of oxygen in air regulates the candles burn. The oxygen burns with the paraffin wax. Both are consumed. A mix of more oxygen will burn faster and hotter. Rapid oxydation is dangerous.
How does rocket fuel burn without air?
That's a very important question. To be very technical, the rocket motor burns without "air" ... outside the atmosphere ... because it takes its own oxygen along with it. There's always a chemical called an "oxidizer" somewhere in the rocket, either mixed into the fuel, or else in a separate tank.
What happens to the weight of a rocket when it takes off?
The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel burns.
Is carbon dioxide released when a fuel burns in oxygen?
yes
What is released whe fuel burns oxygen?
Burning release water, carbon dioxide and heat.
When a fuel burns what does it combine with?
It burns with oxygen. That's all.
What product do you need when a fuel burns?
Oxygen
Where does the oxygen come from when the rocket burns fuel?
The oxygen is carried in tanks as a liquid, just as the fuel is.
How does fire burns?
Fire burns with the fire triangle. Heat, oxygen, and fuel (wood or gasoline).
What element is needed in order that a material burns?
oxygen, fuel, heat
What burns fuel to produce energy?
Oxygen in the air reacts with the fuel in a process called combustion to release energy
Do rockets use fuel in space?
Yes. If a rocket fires its rockets to manoeuvre, then it burns fuel. Fuel is defined as anything that burns; gases and solid propellent. In space, the fuel has to have oxygen added or an oxidizer to sustain the burn.
Why does oxygen not burn but help in burning?
Three things are needed for fire to burn, often referred to as the triangle of fire. Oxygen, heat and fuel, it is only the fuel that burns, the oxygen and heat together cause the fuel to burn.
How does fire?
Fire burns with the fire triangle. Heat, oxygen, and fuel (wood or gasoline).
Why would there be water coming out of the exhaust of your Toyota forklift?
Water is produced when the fuel burns in the engine. The carbon in the fuel burns with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, while hydrogen in the fuel burns with more oxygen to form water. You only see it dripping out when the exhaust pipe is cold, because after it's warmed up the water comes out as steam and is invisible.
