Best Answer

Typically, organic compounds produce mostly water and carbon dioxide when burned. However, a more precise answer depends largely on the compound, but here goes. For fuels such as coal CO2 and CO are the main products with SO2 being formed by sulfur impurities and H2O by hydrocarbon impurities. For simpler hydrocarbons, such as alcahols, propane, methane, gasoline, etc. the products are usually as follows: H2O, CO2, CO, and C. The latter two are more likely to be formed by hydrocarbons with high C to H ratios, such as benzene (C6H6) or acetylene (C2H2). More complex molecules in plants and animals may also produce the following in addition to what is above: N2, O2, N2O, NO, NO2, N2O4, CaCO3, P4O10, SO3, and others I may have left out.

There are several. Carbon dioxide is produced, as are various oxides of nitrogen (sometimes referred to as "NOx", symbolizing one nitrogen and two, three or four oxygen atoms) and "soot" (carbon dust) and ash. Water vapor is always produced. The combination of carbon dioxide and water vapor will produce a weak form of carbonic acid, also known as "soda water".

You can see some of these if the flame of a candle is allowed to touch a glass surface; you'll see the soot and the water condensed from the vapor.

carbon dioxide(co2)

BUT...

if there must me not enough oxygen then the produced gas is carbon monoxide(co)
