do petrol(oil), coal and natural gas from metals?
477055
Oil, coal, and natural gas are all mixtures of various hydrocarbons.  All hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.  However a pure metal contains none of these, and hence metal may not be made into any hydrocarbon, i.e. cannot be made into oil, coal, or gas.\n  This is more complicated in nature since metals typically do not occur in a pure form, but in various ores.  Ores must be refined to obtain pure metals (gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, etc.)  Some of these ores may also contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and in some rare instances refiniing of an ore to produce a particular pure metal may give off a particular hydrocarbon as a by-product.

If you are doing it in a laboratory setting, you can mix it with carbon and reduce it to the metal. You will need high temperatures, though.

Yes. Consider "oil supply" or "Oil reserves" if appropriate.\n\ncc

Yes natural gas is a type of fossil fuel.  Other examples of fossil fuel are oil and coal

All fossil fuels are formed by decayed plants and animals. Oil, gas, coal.

These answers are all correct yet incomplete.\n\nFor complete combustion of a hydrocarbon (the major components of gasoline are hydrocarbons), the products are water and carbon dioxide.\n\nHowever, combustion in the everyday use of gasoline is not necessarily complete, and the products due to incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon are water and carbon monoxide.\n\nAlso, in theory, the combustion occurs when oxygen and hydrocarbon are chemcally reacted with each other.  However, in practice, the oxygen supply comes from air, which is predominantly nitrogen, and the heat of combustion will contribute to the combustion of the nitrogen.  The products of combustion of nitrogen are NO2 and NO3, commonly known as NOx.\n\nThe main fact left out in the previous answers, are that gasoline is not solely composed of hydrocarbons.  In addition to the fuel additives, which are predominantly formed from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, there are also sulfur-containing organic compounds that are considered impurities (ie, could not be removed during the refining process).  The products of the combustion of these sulfur-containing compounds are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and SO2 and SO3, commonly called SOx.\n\nCombustion of gasoline will also have particulate matter as a byproduct. Is is similar to smoke you see when burning any fuel.  Incomplete or inefficient combustion can lead to small amounts of carbon not being oxidized, leaving carbon dust, or coke, as a product.  This dust can also be a carrier for other pollutants or by-products and depending upon particle size, can be very harmful to human respiratory health.\n\nFinally, since some of the fuel may not be completely combusted, volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, will be products as well.

gasoline (you may call it 'petrol')

"Crude oil" as it comes out of the ground gets refined (basically distilled) into many different components.  The major ones are methane (natural gas), naptha, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oils, heavy oils, and residual solids.  The farther down that list, the darker the color.\n\nMany of the residual solids end up in products such as tar and asphalt.  That's where all the "black stuff" goes.

Definitely not water, as those three metals will burn on contact with water (and potassium will explode.) Liquid CO2 might do, as it would cool the burning material extensively, possibly below the ignition point. The sand (SiO2) would be a smothering agent. I'm not sure about the carbon tet.\n\n5 NOV 06, 1522 hrs, GMT.

Other then the obvious answer of oil there are also most metallic oxides dont mix with water and also most carbon compounds and almost all carbonates.

Many materials can react with ozone to form oxygen as a by-product.  Most all are reducing agents.  A more definitive answer rests on how you are using the term "element".  If you are using it the periodic table sense then your answer would include many of the metals capable of being oxidized.

thermal depolymerization is what you're looking for.  Water, heat, and pressure will do for the first step.  Reforming the produced oil, usually light fuel or #2 diesel (C14/C14+), into "petrol" (C7-C12 ?) is best done with zeolites.

Coal is derived from plant material.\nPlants build themselves from the products of photosynthesis and soil minerals.\nPhotosynthesis use sunlight energy to combine water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air to make glucose.
