- C1b Using Carbon Fuels
- Factors influencing the use of a fuel:
- Availability
- If easy to use
- If toxic or not
- If it can be stored easily
- How much it costs
- Energy Value
- Coal is easy to store as it is a solid
- Complete Combustiuon
- Needs lots of air so that the elements in a fuel can react fully with oxygen.
- Produces Carbon Dioxide and water
- hydrocarbon + oxygen ? carbon dioxide + water
- Produces more energy
- Incomplete Combustion
- Occurs when there is less oxygen. Water is still produced but carbon monoxide is produced.
- hydrocarbon + oxygen carbon monoxide + carbon + water
- Produces less energy
