Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
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.
Is the burning of petrol in cars an example of complete combustion or incomplete combustion Explain?
Ideally, complete combustion. In practice it isn't always, which is why cars have catalytic converters.
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of the complete combustion of fossil fuels is: CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER.=)
What are the disadvantages of combustion?
There is one that I know of, and that is that less heat is given out compared to complete combustion. Hope this helped :)
What are the disadvantages of internal combustion engines?

What are the products of combustion of a marshmallow?
If the combustion is complete, carbon dioxide and water.
What does the complete combustion of coal produce?
The complete combustion of organic compounds produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and a residue of any impurities which were present in the coal before combustion. Complete combustion requires a great surplus of molecular Oxygen to occur.
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.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the internal combustion engine?
pongada loose
What are the advantages and disadvantages of spark ignition engine and combustion ignition engine?
what are the advantages and disadvantages of s.i engine
What does combustion form?
The resulting products of the complete combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
What are the disadvantages of the land?
The disadvantages of land transportation are so many. The main disadvantages include noise and air pollution through the combustion process.
