When you burn something, you are causing an exothermic reaction to occur. When that heat is released from the reaction, is causes more to burn, keeping the exothermic reaction going.
A coal-fired energy plant is one that burns coal (as the source of energy) to make electricity or drive machinery.
No it isn't a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels include coal and oil.
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
yes
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
In no way at all is burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) helpful to wildlife.
A person could change the stored energy in a lump of coal into chemical energy by burning the coal. Combustion of coal involves a chemical reaction that releases the stored energy in the form of heat and light energy.
Fossil fuel.
Fossil fuel is not energy its a energy source and yes there is more energy sources besides the fossil fuel like coal and others.
Coal is a fossil fuel, which possesses potential chemical energy. It is not nuclear or kinetic
Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Heat is not a factor of a fossil fuel itself, but rather the result of burning fossil fuels. When fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas are combusted, they release heat energy that can be harnessed for various purposes like electricity generation or heating.
