They are oxidised to produce carbon dioxide and water 1 of 10 What happens in a reaction when there is a limited amount of oxygen It may undergo incomplete combustion which produces carbon monoxide. Carbon and unburned hydrocarbon may be produced too 2 of 10 What are solid particles that contain carbon? Soot 3 of 10 What are unburned hydrocarbons called ? Particulates 4 of 10 What happens when fossil fuels are burned containing sulfur compounds? Produces sulfur dioxide which produces acid rain 5 of 10 What happens at high temperature when fuels are burned? Oxygen and nitrogen in the air may combine to form nitrogen oxides that also produce acid rain 6 of 10 What is the effects of carbon dioxide? It is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming 7 of 10 What is the product of incomplete combustion of a fuel containing carbon? Carbon monoxide and particulates 8 of 10 What is global dimming? Particulates reflect the sunlight back into space causing global dimming 9 of 10 How can we reduce producing sulfur dioxide? Remove the sulfur from fuels before burning or remove it from the waste gases from power stations 10 of 10
