The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon would give carbon dioxide and water as the only products.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a product of incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon when there is a limited supply of oxygen. This occurs because there is not enough oxygen to fully oxidize the carbon in the hydrocarbon to form carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to human health.
The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon would give carbon dioxide and water as the only products.
To determine the product of an unbalanced combustion reaction, we typically look for the reactants, which are usually a hydrocarbon and oxygen. During combustion, these reactants produce carbon dioxide and water as products. For a specific hydrocarbon, you would need to balance the equation to identify the exact amounts of CO₂ and H₂O produced. If you provide the unbalanced reaction, I can give you a more specific answer.
The general chemical equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon is: Hydrocarbon + O2 -> CO2 + H2O For example, the combustion of methane (CH4) can be represented as: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
The combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as byproducts. The chemical equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon is typically hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water. Heat and light are often given off during this exothermic reaction.
Combustion clearly is a chemical change. In the combustion of a hydrocarbon, for example, you begin with the hydrocarbon and after combustion you end up with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This demonstrates that a chemical change has taken place.

Gasoline is a hydrocarbon obtained by separating crude oil into component fractions in a fractionating column; so yes a hydrocarbon can power an internal combustion engine.
After combustion water and carbon dioxide are released.
The products of a hydrocarbon combustion reaction are usually carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Other by-products can include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx), depending on the composition of the hydrocarbon and the conditions of the reaction.
