How does burning carbon-containing fuels contribute to Earth’s climate change problem?
The chemical reaction that happens when ethanol and oxygen mix produces two substances: carbon dioxide and water in the gas phase. Since both of these are invisible, colorless gases, it seems like nothing is left of the liquid that was in your gas tank. However, the atoms of the reactants haven’t disappeared at all—they’ve only rearranged to form the products. The carbon dioxide and water produced by this chemical reaction enter the atmosphere whenever we burn ethanol or other carbon-containing fuels. In the recent past, humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere by burning such fuels, resulting in widespread changes to Earth’s climate. In response to these effects, scientists are working to find fuels that can release energy without producing carbon dioxide.
