Explain one positive impact on the environment of burning hydrogen rather than natural gas as a fuel. Use Table 2.

By examining Table 2, we can compare the combustion products of hydrogen and natural gas. - The row for "Mass of carbon dioxide produced" shows that burning 1 dm³ of hydrogen produces 0.00 g of CO₂, while natural gas produces 1.83 g. - This is a significant positive impact because hydrogen fuel does not contain carbon atoms (it is just H₂), so it cannot produce carbon dioxide upon combustion. The only product is water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O). - Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas. It traps infrared radiation in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in the Earth's average temperature, known as global warming or climate change. - Therefore, using hydrogen as a fuel instead of natural gas (which is mostly methane, CH₄) would eliminate these CO₂ emissions and help to mitigate climate change.
