What are made when hydrocarbon burn?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when hydrocarbons burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed


What organic compound is flammable and will burn with a sooty flame?

Hydrocarbons like alkanes (e.g. propane, butane) are organic compounds that can burn with a sooty flame due to incomplete combustion, which produces carbon particles.


How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?

Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.


What element reacts with hydrocarbons to from Teflon and freon?

Fluorine reacts with hydrocarbons to form Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) and Freon (chlorofluorocarbons).


Can hydrocarbons burn?

Burning is a combustion reaction where the substance being burned reacts with oxygen to form simpler products. For example, the combustion of hexane follows the following balanced reaction: 2C6H14 + 19O2 --> 12CO2 + 14H2O The complete combustion of simple hydrocarbons containing only carbon and hydrogen always produces carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion can also occur, where both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are formed in addition to water. Incomplete combustion is more likely to occur in oxygen poorer environments.

What are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stoves and air planes?

Hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, and jet fuel are commonly used as fuel for stoves and airplanes due to their high energy content and availability. They burn efficiently to provide heat for cooking or to power jet engines for flight.


Does silicon burn?

Silicon does not burn in a typical combustion reaction like hydrocarbons do. However, it can react with oxygen at high temperatures to form silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is not considered a combustion reaction.
