Answer:

CO (carbon Dioxide)

Explanation:

Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum products contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). When they burn completely, carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

But in incomplete burning, a portion of carbon that contained in fossil fuel is not completely oxidized. As a result carbon monoxide (CO) is produced.

The carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that affects health. The maximum limit of carbon monoxide production allowed in flue products is 400 ppm (parts per million) and the gas flame produces 0 and 50 ppm of carbon monoxide.

Incomplete combustion results in the production of above 7,000 ppm of carbon monoxide. Such a high concentration of carbon monoxide is a health risk and can be fatal.

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The incomplete combustion of fossil generally occurs when there is less amount of air or oxygen. This incomplete combustion leads to the production of carbon monoxide and carbon along with water. It does not release any carbon dioxide.

The reaction that represents an incomplete combustion is-

Hydrocarbon (fossil) + oxygen (O₂) → Carbon Monoxide (CO) + carbon (C) + water (H₂O) .

This reaction releases this Carbon monoxide which is a very poisonous gas. This gases are trapped in the lungs and it creates difficulty for the blood to carry oxygen. This is the reason why the complete combustion of fossil is more preferred compared to the incomplete combustion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Air pollution due to the high concentration of traffic and industries. Increased a greenhouse gas due to which it emissions a high levels of energy consumption and transportation.  Urbanization affects our environment by improper or insufficient waste or smelly problem in urban areas.

Light pollution can be a ecological issues with different consequences. loss of green space and increase of heat island is also effected. It also affect our health due to increased risk of disease by overcrowding .

Arada [10]
Centrally, with good access roads. And central to the maybe tri city school districts. So equal distant to the surrounding schools
Layers such as population with an age of less than 25, and or with a population of 20-35 for future athletes being born into.
probably with about 200+ per square mile.
Depending on the area
Not to be gender bias but you could look for higher male than female. Or opposite.
Could profile with race..
and also checking surrounding parks /fields, and other sporting goods stores

G(x) = 2x2 - 6<br> h(x) = -6x + 16
Zielflug [23.3K]

f(x) = x? & g(x) = 2x + 1

(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

= (x2) + (2x + 1)

= x2 + 2x + 1,

(f + g) (x) = x2 + 2x + 1

(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

= (x2) - (2x + 1)
