The major drawback of fossil fuels is that they warm the planet i.e. they cause global warming.
The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a complete combustion reaction is:
Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ENERGY
<h3>Disadvantages of Fossil fuels</h3>
The term "fossil fuels" refers to flammable organic geologic formations, including dead organic matter that has been buried hundreds of feet beneath sediment.
Fossil fuel emissions include various oxides, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfate, which cause acid rain and harm the soil's fertility and water quality.
Both coal and petroleum burning discharge a significant amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to pollution levels.
Gases like carbon dioxide are released through the burning of fossil fuels, which aids in climate change.

An external stimuli is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism and causes a reaction.An internal stimuli is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism.
The mixing of two chemicals may result in the production of a gas which is lost to the air. This will reduce the mass of the chemical mixture, because mass is being lost in a gaseous form.
