Combustion, a chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually accompanied by the generation of heat and light in the form of flame. The hydrocarbons become harder to ignite as the molecules get bigger. Combustion of alkanes with bigger molecule will produce more soot as the percentage of carbon of the molecule is higher.

These are effects of global warming because the amounts of fossil fuels that we burn on a daily bases. The emissions of all the fuels we burn clogs up the atmosphere of the earth like a blanket and heats the earth up more than it would if we didn’t burn fossil fuels because it doesn’t allow gasses to escape out into the atmosphere. With the air heating up and getting warmer, the water…
