Most fuels combust into mainly water and carbon dioxide. Depending on the purity of the fuel you also get nitrogen compounds like NO, NO2 and sulphur componds like SO2
When a fuel combusts, it produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and various combustion byproducts such as smoke, ash, and soot. The specific composition of the combustion products depends on the type of fuel and the combustion conditions.
Yes. Any thing that combusts (burns) can be used as a fuel (some examples are: wood, coal, oil, gas, hydrogen, food, etc)
Yes, combustion is a chemical change. A fuel reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Suction stroke - Air and vaporized fuel are drawn in.Compression stroke - fuel vapor and air are compressed and ignited.Power stroke - fuel combusts and the piston is pushed downwards.Exhaust stroke - Exhaust is driven out.
When rocket fuel combusts, the nozzle directs a hot river of gas that can reach speeds of up to 3,000 meters per second (approximately 10,000 feet per second) or more, depending on the type of fuel and nozzle design. This high-speed exhaust generates thrust, propelling the rocket upwards. The efficiency of the nozzle design, particularly in shaping and accelerating the flow, is crucial for maximizing performance.

Candles work by burning the wick, which acts as a fuel for the flame. As the wick burns, it vaporizes the wax in the candle, which is then drawn up the wick by capillary action and combusts, producing light and heat. This process continues until the fuel source is depleted.
Sulfur dioxide is produced in a petrol engine when the fuel being burned contains sulfur impurities. As the fuel combusts, sulfur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide, which is then emitted as a pollutant in the exhaust gases of the engine.
Energy is typically released as a product in a combustion reaction. The reaction releases energy in the form of heat as the fuel combusts with oxygen to form products such as carbon dioxide and water.
