Incomplete combustion is most commonly caused by lack of oxygen. Partial oxidation can lead to many contaminants being released into the environment.
A regular supply of oxygen or air can avoid the incomplete combustion.
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
More oxygen is used in a 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.

The Main danger of incomplete combustion is the production of carbon monoxide.
For example the preparation of caramel can be considered an incomplete combustion.
Incomplete combustion in an engine indicates that all of the fuel has not been burnt. Incomplete combustion can cause clogging and damage to the valves in the engine of a car.
the poisoness gas produced by incomplete combustion is carbon monoxide:)
A regular supply of oxygen or air can avoid the incomplete combustion.
A complete combustion reaction will produce CO2 and H2O, while an incomplete combustion reaction produces CO and H2O.
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
Incomplete combustion of decane is ...2 C10H22 + 21 O2 ==> 20CO + 22H2O
Yes, incomplete combustion of natural gas can produce aldehyde. It is also stated that incomplete combustion of natural gas also produces carbon monoxide.
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
Incomplete combustion often produces toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide.
