Combustion of Fossil Fuels

Explanation:

The combustion of fossil fuels is a major contributor to unbalancing of the carbon cycle which causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the air than can be naturally processed.

Combustion of fossil fuel is an anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide emission. This chemical process is used to power internal combustion engines and industrial activities. The by product is usually carbon dioxide.

Plants that use carbon dioxide for their life processes cannot completely absorb all of this anthropogenic emission.

Naturally, animal respiration and decomposition provides enough carbon dioxide for use during photosynthesis. Combustion of fossil fuels tips this balance.

What happens when you heat iodine and ammonium chloride?
DiKsa [7]
Test tube of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) being heated over a bunsen burner flame. Ammonium chloride decomposes readily when heated, but condenses in the cooler area at the top of the test tube.

Natural gas or methane is a fossil fuel. In a plentiful supply of air, it burns to give carbon dioxide and water. Write a balanc
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

CH_4 + 2O_2 --> CO_2 + 2H_2O

Explanation:

The chemical formula for methane is CH_4

The chemical formula for oxygen is O_2

The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO_2

The chemical formula for water is H_2O

Methane burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water:

CH_4 + O_2 --> CO_2 + H_2O

The balanced equation that will ensure an equal number of each atom on the left and right-hand sides of the equation would be:

CH_4 + 2O_2 --> CO_2 + 2H_2O
