Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

most of the carbon compound give a lot of heat and light when burnt in air. Carbon and it’s compounds are used as fuels by reacting with the oxygen in air to provide heat (exothermic reaction). These compounds are readily available as gases or liquids and are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Natural gas which is found in nature is a common fuel. Natural gas is methane, CH4.

Refined petroleum is used as a fuel for automobiles, aircraft and ships
