What are the products formed when fuel such as petrol burns completely?

Mainly Water (H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), but mainly the first two. And if the petrol is broken down incompletely (without oxygen) Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced instead of CO2.
A:
Carbon dioxide and water (mainly) but in case of incomplete combustion carbon monoxide and carbon (soot) too. The pollutants produced by petrol combustion are mainly nitrogen oxides and unburnt petrol.

∙ 13y agoMotor fuels are primarily made of carbon and hydrogen so a primary pollutant would be carbon dioxide. The water exhausted is not generally seen as a pollutant. However a certain small percentage is exhausted unburned in its original form or cracked and reformed by the heat of the combustion process. This small percentage is present as hydrocarbons, aromatics or other organics.
Nitrogen oxides are produced and relased by the extreme heat in the combustion chamber.
Some fuels contain additive packages and a trace of sulfur. These are released as metallic oxides or sulfur oxides.

∙ 13y agoPetrol is a hydrocarbon ( made of hydrogen and carbon). When it burns in plentiful of oxygen it form carbon di oxide gas and water vapours. If oxygen is in limited supply carbon monoxide is formed instead of carbon dioxide.
Petrol sometimes contains impurities of Nitrogen and Sulphur. When petrol burns these elements combine with oxygen to make oxides of nitrogen and sulphur dioxide ( All of which are gases).

∙ 6y agoThe products of burning are carbon dioxide and water; because petrol contain many impurities or several compounds than hydrocarbons some other oxides (of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.) are released.

What are the products formed when polythene burns in absence of oxygen?
no

When paraffin burns in plenty of air, carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed
What energy is released when petrol burns?
it spreads then stinks lol
When you burn petrol what does it add?
Burning petrol is a classic combustion reaction. Petrol is mostly octane, which is a hydrocarbon, C8H18. When it burns, it reacts (explosively!) with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. These are two very common products of most combustion reactions. The water vapor is harmless, but the carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, an excess of which is harmful to the environment.
What compounds are formed when a candle burns?
Paraffin is a compound made when a candle burns
How is carbon dioxide formed when petrol burns?
petrol consists of carbon and hydrogen, when it burns it produces carbon dioxide and water if complete combustion occurs
What gas is formed when petrol burns?
carbon- dioxide and carbon- monoxide
Name impurity found in petrol that burns what pollutant formed?
the pollutant that is formed is, Carbon Monoxide

How do you tell petrol from diesel in a can?
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
Why do cars need petrol?
if cars do not have petrol they will not work because petrol burns in the engine and the car moves forward
Why no smoking in petrol bunks?
Petrol burns easily, so smoking is dangerous near it.
Why is sulfur dioxide produced in a petrol engine?
because when petrol burns it produces sulfur dioxide
Why does petrol spray burn faster than petrol in a bowl?
It burns quicker because when it is sprayed, the oxygen particles (0) completely overwhelm and surround the petrol particles. Oxygen is a compulsory supply in order to make something burn. And the reason for why petrol does not burn quickly when it is in a bowl is because the Oxygen particles only surround the surface of the petrol rather than surrounding the whole thing like when it is sprayed. ()-> a circle -> oxygen particles collide from all sides of the droplets sprayed-> burns quicker |_|-> petrol in a bowl-> oxygen particles can only collide into the surface of the petrol-> consumes more time to burn the petrol.
What happen when petrol burns?
it spreads then stinks lol
What are the products formed when baggage burns in absence of oxygen?
Burning (oxydation, reaction with oxygen) is possible only when oxygen exist.
