4 Fossil Fuels Formed from the remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago They are composed of mainly hydrogen and carbon and are called hydro carbons

5 Hydrocarbons. These are compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon only. They burn to produce carbon dioxide and water.

6 To examine the products of combustion of a hydrocarbon

7 The greenhouse effect Heat from the sun is trapped by Carbon dioxide and other gases. This causes the temperature of the Earth to rise.

9 Global warming is a result of this greenhouse effect

11 Acid rain Sulfur and Nitrogen, emited gases from burning fossil fuels and car exhausts, all dissolve in rainwater making it acidic.

12 Sulfuric Acid – Sulfur dioxide produced when we burn fossil fuels
Sulfuric Acid – Sulfur dioxide produced when we burn fossil fuels. It dissolves in rainwater to make sulfuric acid Nitric acid – Nitrogen produced by car exhausts dissolves in water vapour to form Nitric acid
