C1b Using Carbon Fuels

You need to be able to:

• Evaluate fuels for a particular purpose (considering availability, cost, energy value, pollution, ease of use, toxicity and storage)
• Explain the complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels (plentiful oxygen, lots of heat energy produced, carbon dioxide and water produced, word equations and balanced symbol equations, link to Bunsen flame, advantages over incomplete combustion)
• Explain the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels (oxygen, shortage, some heat energy produced, carbon monoxide, carbon and water produced, word equations and balanced symbol equations, link to Bunsen flame, link to poisoning)
