Incomplete combustion of substances that contain carbon releases CO (carbon monoxide). This can result due to lack of available oxygen. The chemical reaction is -

2C + O2 --> 2CO

When methane burns in the presence of insufficient oxygen the products of the reaction include carbon monoxide?

When methane burns in the presence of insufficient oxygen, incomplete combustion occurs, leading to the formation of carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is produced due to the partial oxidation of methane in limited oxygen supply. This reaction is less favorable as it produces a toxic gas, unlike complete combustion which forms carbon dioxide.
