Incomplete combustion of coal and petroleum :(A) increases air pollution.(B) increases efficiency of machines.(C) reduces global warming.(D) produce poisonous gases. The correct option is :(a) (A) and (B) (b) (A) and (D) (c) (B) and (C) (d) (C) and (D)
Correct answer: (b) (A) and (D)
Explanation:
Coal and petroleum fuels contain carbon molecules on incomplete combustion, they react with atmospheric oxygen and forms a harmful greenhouse gas known as carbon monoxide.
Two disadvantages of incomplete combustion are given below:
- Due to incomplete combustion, a greater amount of fuel is wasted and less heat is released as compared to complete combustion.
- Incomplete combustion leads to the production of a gas called carbon monoxide which is extremely poisonous.
