उत्तर
The following explanations explain why fuels made of carbon and its compounds are used:
- Because of their high hydrogen and carbon content, they provide combustion with a significant amount of heat.
- Fuel-grade carbon compounds are straightforward to work with and have high calorific values and ideal ignition temperatures.
- There is control over their combustion. Carbon and its components are therefore employed as fuels.
