Generally, the hydrocarbon undergoes a combustion reaction, forming water and carbon dioxide. The water formed may be in the form of water vapour. But in the case where oxygen is limited, the hydrocarbon may under incomplete combustion, forming a gaseous mixture of water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
A hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen means burning the hydrocarbon. When hydrocarbons are burned, the oxides of the compound elements, such as CO2,H2O are formed. If the hydrocarbon contain elements like Nitrogen, sulfur, etc oxides of them can be formed.

Show the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
It is when you burn Oxygen. Here are equations. Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Monoxide + Water
What shows a combustion of a hydrocarbon?
It is when you burn Oxygen. Here are equations. Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Monoxide + Water
What does hydrocarbons oxygen equal?
There is no oxygen in a hydrocarbon, but the atomic weight is 16
What does combustion of alcohol mean?
It's when you burn something i.e. add oxygen to something. One of the products for complete combustion is carbon dioxide. For incomplete combustion which is when there isn't enough oxygen, then carbon monoxide is formed.
Is CuOH hydrocarbon?
No. A hydrocarbon has carbon in it but CuOH (copper hydroxide) has copper, oxygen, and hydrogen but no carbon.

What are made when hydrocarbon burn?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when hydrocarbons burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed
When hydrocarbon undergoes combustion what does it reacts with?
It reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
Is rubbing alcohol a hydrocarbon?
No it is not due to having oxygen in it and the OH group. So ethanol is not a hydrocarbon.
Why is it usually difficult to burn different hydrocarbon fuels efficiently in the same appliance?
Because different fuels need different amounts of Oxygen and heat to ignite.
How is H2O made in a car engine?
When you burn any hydrocarbon (a compound of carbon and hydrogen) in air (oxygen being the reactant), carbon dioxide and water are produced.
What does oxygen react with that causes an combustion?
hydrocarbon
What is the word equation for hydrocarbon?
it is fuel + air= water + carbon dioxide + nitrogen + heat, at least according to wikipedia
What is the source of vapor and carbon dioxide in a burning candle?
The reaction of hydrocarbon (i.e. wax) with oxygen Hydrocarbon + oxygen --> water + carbon dioxide
What is made when hydrocarbon fuels burn?
Co2+h2o
