Why do modern cars burn hydrocarbon fuels in their engines?
Hydrocarbon fuels are energy dense, easily transported, relatively cheap.
Why do most modern cars burn hydrocarbon fuels in their engines?
Hydrocarbon fuels are energy dense, easily transported, relatively cheap.
What powers cars?
Petrol, diesel and LPG are the main fuels. They are hydrocarbon fossil fuels.
What is made when hydrocarbon fuels burn?
Co2+h2o
Is the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels endothermic?
No, the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is not endothermic; it is an exothermic reaction. During combustion, hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This energy release is what makes hydrocarbon fuels valuable for energy production.
What fuel powers cars?
Petrol, diesel and LPG are the main fuels. They are hydrocarbon fossil fuels.
What percentage of global energy do hydrocarbon fuels generate?
About 82%
What are some petroleum?
Plastic, bitumen, various fuels and hydrocarbon products
What are some petroleum products?
Plastic, bitumen, various fuels and hydrocarbon products
What polluting gas produced from burning hydrocarbon fuels is not a problem with nuclear energy?
sulfur
What is needed for nitrogen oxides to be produced when hydrocarbon fuels are burned?
very high temperatures
What is the equation for complete combustion of fossil fuels?
The general equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel such as fossil fuels is: hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water For example, the complete combustion of methane (CH4) would be: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
