Answer:

Many chemicals are classified as carcinogenic

Explanation:

A carcinogenic chemical is any chemical substance that is able to cause cancer. There are certain chemicals that enter into the body and are acted upon by certain chemicals present in the body to form metabolites which now go ahead to trigger the multiplication of malignant cells in the body.

An example of such chemical is benzo[a]pyrene.

What are the primary products of burning a fossil fuel?
denis23 [38]
<span>Several important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition, total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.

Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by-product during the incomplete combustion of all fossil fuels. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease. Cars and trucks are the primary source of carbon monoxide emissions.

Two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in combustion. Nitrogen oxides appear as yellowish-brown clouds over many city skylines. They can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections. They also lead to the formation of smog. The transportation sector is responsible for close to half of the US emissions of nitrogen oxides; power plants produce most of the rest.

Sulfur oxides are produced by the oxidization of the available sulfur in a fuel. Utilities that use coal to generate electricity produce two-thirds of the nation's sulfur dioxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are important constituents of acid rain. These gases combine with water vapor in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which become part of rain and snow. As the acids accumulate, lakes and rivers become too acidic for plant and animal life. Acid rain also affects crops and buildings.

Hydrocarbons are a broad class of pollutants made up of hundreds of specific compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest hydrocarbon, methane, does not readily react with nitrogen oxides to form smog, but most other hydrocarbons do. Hydrocarbons are emitted from human-made sources such as auto and truck exhaust, evaporation of gasoline and solvents, and petroleum refining.

The white haze that can be seen over many cities is tropospheric ozone, or smog. This gas is not emitted directly into the air; rather, it is formed when ozone precursors mainly nonmethane hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in the presence of heat and sunlight. Human exposure to ozone can produce shortness of breath and, over time, permanent lung damage. Research shows that ozone may be harmful at levels even lower than the current federal air standard. In addition, it can reduce crop yields.

Finally, fossil fuel use also produces particulates, including dust, soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory irritants. In addition, particulates may contribute to acid rain formation.

Also, water and land pollution.

Which formula equation represents the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

option A = S(s) + O₂(g)   →   SO₂ (s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

S(s) + O₂(g)   →   SO₂ (s)

when sulfur burned in the presence of oxygen it produce sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide can further react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide and then react with water to form sulfuric acid.

Uses of sulfur dioxde:

It is used as a solvent and reagent in laboratory.

Sulfur dioxide is used to produce sulfuric acid.

It is used as a disinfectant

It is also used as a reducing agent.

It is used to preserve the dry food.
