Hydrocarbon Combustion
Use a reading that describes hydrocarbons as primary components of fossil fuels, types of hydrocarbons and their structures, and the products of combustion of different hydrocarbons. You may demonstrate the products of the combustion by having your students note how much CO2 per molecule is released due to the combustion of different fossil fuels.
- Explore the topic in greater detail through this reading titled "Hydrocarbon Combustion".
- Use this tool to demonstrate the products of the combustion of different hydrocarbons and to explore the potential costs and benefits of using different fossil fuels.
- Investigate how much CO2 per molecule is released due to the combustion of different fossil fuels.
