Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) gives us the energy for vehicles and machines with engines to move. However, it also produces carbon dioxide as an emission. This carbon has been hidden away underground for 300 million years, so releasing it now is causing global warming and climate change.
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
fossil fuels
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
The chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels can be represented by the general formula: ( \text{hydrocarbon (fuel)} + \text{oxygen} \rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{water} + \text{heat} ). This represents the combustion reaction where hydrocarbons in fossil fuels react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.
It can be used in incinerators which produce heat as for burning fossil fuels.
They don't produce pollution like burning fossil fuels does
Burning fossil fuels can contribute to noise pollution indirectly, as industrial processes involved in extracting, transporting, and burning these fuels often produce significant noise. Additionally, activities such as drilling, mining, and infrastructure development related to fossil fuels can also generate noise pollution.
