Why are carbon and its compounds used as fuels for most applications ?

Answer»

Solution :When CARBON is burnt in the presence of AIR of OXYGEN, it forms carbon dioxide and WATER with a release of a large amount of heat and light.
`C(s)+O_(2)(g)toCO_(2)(g)+"Heat"+"Light"`
When carbon and its compounds are burnt, additional heat energy is not required for consistent BURNING.
Hence, carbon and its compounds are used as fules for most applications.
