WorksheetsBurning Fuels and combustion
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 12mins
What is produced in complete combustion of a fuel?
Carbon
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide and water
Carbon dioxide and water
During incomplete combustion, a toxic gas called (a) is produced (give the name).
What environmental problem is caused by carbon dioxide?
Greenhouse effect
Acid rain
Breathing problems
Smog
The test for carbon dioxide gas is to bubble it through (a) .
For any fuel to burn, there must be a supply of (a) gas.
Why does incomplete combustion happen?
Because there isn't enough oxygen
Because there isn't enough carbon dioxide
Because there isn't enough fuel
Because carbon is made

Do we need greenhouse gases on Earth?
Yes - they keep the Earth warm
Yes - they block dangerous UV light from the sun
No - they only cause terrible climate change
No - they only block some of the Sun's rays
Which of these causes the release of carbon monoxide?
Burning fossil fuels containing impurities
Burning fossil fuels with sufficient oxygen
Burning fossil fuels with insufficient oxygen
Burning petrol only
Which environmental problem is caused by the release of particulates into the atmosphere?
Global warming
Global dimming
Acid rain
Depletion of the ozone layer
We can reduce the occurrence of acid rain by...
Removing sulfur from fuels before they are burned
Making sure there is enough oxygen to burn the fuel completely
Removing sulfur dioxide from waste gases before they are returned to the air
Using renewable energy sources
Which of these is not a way of limiting global warming?
Individuals reducing their energy usage
Switching to renewable energy sources
Ensuring fuels are burnt with sufficient oxygen, so incomplete combustion does not occur.
Switching to hydrogen fuel
