What is another chemical produced when a fuel burns?

Complete burning products are water and carbon dioxide.


What is made when a fuel is burnt?

It would depend on the fuel and whether combustion is complete or not. For typical hydrocarbon fuels (e.g., natural gas, propane, gasoline, etc.) the products of complete combustion are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).However, if combustion is not complete, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) will also be produced. In addition, depending on the fuel (whether it has sulfur or not), oxides of sulfur (SOx) may be produced. Finally, oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are also usually produced, particularly in vehicle engines.


What oxide is produced by the sparking of air in a car engine?

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2 ) is produced by the sparking of air, the Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced due to the combustion of carbon in the hydrocarbon fuel.


What gas does complete burning of fossil fuels produce?

Complete burning of the hydrocarbon portion of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide. Since most fossil fuels contains nitrogenous and sulfurous components also, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide would also be produced by complete combustion.


What is the color of flame produced by unsaturated hydrocarbons on complete combustion?

The unsaturated hydrocarbons are mor tangled up so it's harder for the oxygen to get in and break the bonds. Because of this some large sections of the hydrocarbon floats up before being broken, making the flame sooty.


How many moles of H2O are produced by the complete combustion of methane?

The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon, including methane, produces one water molecule for each two atoms of hydrogen in the hydrocarbon. The formula of methane is CH4; therefore, the complete combustion of one mole of methane produces two moles of H2O.


How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?

No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.


What gas is produced during combustion?

When Oxygen is deficient in the combustion of a hydrocarbon carbon monoxide (CO) will be produced and in severe cases even carbon(S) can be produced.


The two by-products of complete combustion are?

In all combustion reactions (other than H2 with O2) CO2(g) and H2O(g) will be produced. CO would NOT be produced, as we are talking about COMPLETE combustion. Why can't the products be in a form of an oxide and a compound gas?


When air supply is limited in the combustion of pentane what is the poisonous gas produced?

Incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon HxCy will produce x molecules of H2O and y molecules of CO, carbon monoxide, which is odorless and poisonous.
