Question
which greenhouse gas is primarily associated with burning petroleum products? oxygen heat energy carbon dioxide water vapor
Brief Explanations
Petroleum products are hydrocarbons. When burned (combusted), they react with oxygen. The main chemical reaction of hydrocarbon combustion produces carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$), water, and energy. Oxygen is a reactant, heat energy is a product (not a gas), and water vapor can be produced but carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas from burning petroleum.
