Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
What gas is needed for paper to burn?
Answer:Burning of wood is a process of combustion. By definition if something is undergoing combustion oxygen must be involved in the reaction.
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.
What is reactants and products of complete combustion?
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
What order should atoms be balanced in a hydrocarbon combustion reaction?
Answer this question… Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
What amount of oxygen is needed for a complete combustion reaction in manipulated variable?
9
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...
Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
What substance's complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water?
candle wax. The wax is a hydrocarbon (hydrogen+carbon) and as it burns, it rects with oxygen and hydrogen in the air. Hydrogen+hydrogen+oxygen=H2O (water) Carbon+oxygen+oxygen=CO2 (carbon dioxide) Other hydrocarbons include petrol, diesel, oil, propane etc
Can hydrogen support combustion?
Hydrogen is a fuel for combustion, but cannot support it in the manner than oxygen can.
What gas is needed for paper to burn?
Answer:Burning of wood is a process of combustion. By definition if something is undergoing combustion oxygen must be involved in the reaction.
How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?
Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.
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.
Define complete combustion and write a chemical equation for the complete combustion of methane gas?
Complete combustion is the reaction with oxygen of a material containing at least one of carbon and hydrogen to convert all of the carbon content of the material to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen content to water. For methane, CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O. But minimum speed range for the CNG vehicle in driving condition should be atleast 50 km per hour for optimum oxygen ratio with methane to achieve complete combustion of CNG
Why the water is not inflammable as hydrogen and oxygen are highly inflammable?
I think you mean flammable, not inflammable. Because combustion is reaction of electronegative oxidizer such as oxygen and electropositive fuel such as hydrogen into a compound such as water. Water is not flammable because the combustion is complete.
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.
