It means that whatever you are burning (usually hydrocarbon) burns/reacts completely with oxygen gas (O2) to form ONLY CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water (H2O).
So that means there are no by-products!
Only CO2 and H2O are your products.

Which gas is produced during the incomplete combustion of coal?
carbon monoxide. CO is a product resulting as the definition of incomplete combustion. complete combustion yields carbon dioxide, CO2.
What does the complete combustion of coal produce?
The complete combustion of organic compounds produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and a residue of any impurities which were present in the coal before combustion. Complete combustion requires a great surplus of molecular Oxygen to occur.
What are the types of combustion?
There are two main types of combustion. These are complete, in which the reactant burns in oxygen producing a few reactions, such as carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to complete a reaction.
What are the two products made during the complete combustion of Paraffin Wax?
water vapour and carbon products of combustion.
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel makes only?
hydrocarbons have only carbon and hydrogen , on complete combustion they react with oxygen of air and form only CO2 and H2O molecules...
Which gas is produced during the incomplete combustion of coal?
carbon monoxide. CO is a product resulting as the definition of incomplete combustion. complete combustion yields carbon dioxide, CO2.
Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.
Is the burning of petrol in cars an example of complete combustion or incomplete combustion Explain?
Ideally, complete combustion. In practice it isn't always, which is why cars have catalytic converters.
What are the products of combustion of a marshmallow?
If the combustion is complete, carbon dioxide and water.
What does the complete combustion of coal produce?
The complete combustion of organic compounds produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and a residue of any impurities which were present in the coal before combustion. Complete combustion requires a great surplus of molecular Oxygen to occur.
Why does complete combustion release more energy than incomplete combustion?
in complete combustion the amount of oxygen is higher/more than the amount of oxygen in incomplete combustion. Heat needs oxygen.
What does combustion form?
The resulting products of the complete combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of the complete combustion of fossil fuels is: CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER.=)
What are the products of combustion for coal and petroleum?
Complete combustion will result in the production of CO2 and H2O.
How can you tell that complete combustion has not occurred?
Complete combustion is very hard to obtain, unless you have nearly perfect conditions and little cause for error.
