Document Summary

A chemical reaction in which a fuel burns in oxygen. Are made up of h and c. If they cantain impurities, they can cause air pollution and acid rain. Products are co2 (g) + h2o (g) C3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) heat 3co 2 (g) + 4h2o (g) When o2 supply is limited, e. g. enclosed space. Products include: co (g) + c (s) (soot black ash) Does not release all the stored energy, inefficient. C7h16 (l) + 7o2 (g) 3c (s) + 2co2 (g) + 2co (g) + 8h2o (g) Or 2c7h16 (l) + 15o2 (g) 14co (g) + 16h2o (g) Common oxides include: co2, h2o, so4, no2, metal oxide. During combustion, impurities in fossil fuel lead to the production of acid precipitation. So2 reacts with o2 in the air, 2so2 (g) + o2 (g) 2so3 (g) Form bases when dissolved in water, and release energy. Cao (s) + h2o (l) ca(oh)2 (aq) + energy.
