उत्तर
- Carbon and its compounds are used as fuels because of their high hydrogen and carbon content; they release a significant amount of heat during combustion.
- 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.
