Carbon Chemistry C1b

?
Which key factors need to be considered whilst choosing a fuel?
Energy value, Cost, Toxicity,Pollution caused, Availability,Storage and Ease of Use
1 of 8
Why is the amount of fossil fuels burnt increasing?
It's due to the increasing world population and it's growth of use in developing countries such as India and China
2 of 8
What happens when a hydrocarbon is combusted?
Water and Carbon dioxide is made
3 of 8
By experiment, how can you prove that the combustion of hydrocarbons produces carbon dioxide and water?
You would use a candle, a beaker full of cold water with cobalt chloride paper inside an air pump, and a conical flask with limewater
4 of 8
What should happen if water and CO2 are produced during this experiment?
The blue colbalt chloride paper should turn pink and the limewater should go cloudy if there's carbon dioxide
5 of 8
What is complete combustion and what is the word equation?
When a fuel burns in plenty of oxygen, Fuel+Oxygen>Carbon Dioxide +Water
6 of 8
What is incomplete combustion and what is the word equation?
When a fuel burns and there's not enough oxygen, Fuel+Oxygen>Carbon Monoxide +Water
7 of 8
What are the advantages of complete combustion over incomplete combustion?
That more energy is released
