Best Answer

The unsaturated hydrocarbons are mor tangled up so it's harder for the oxygen to get in and break the bonds. Because of this some large sections of the hydrocarbon floats up before being broken, making the flame sooty.

because the multiple bond makes the combustion of the hydrocarbon harder, and other byproducts may form aside from CO2 and H2O

Saturated hydrocarbons

generally give a clean blue

flame because complete

combustion of these

substances takes place.

What can you use in a spirit burner that does not smell?

Most of the hydrocarbons used in spirit burners are very aromatic not least because a spirit burner does not allow for complete combustion of longer chained molecules such as petrol or paraffin.If you were to use a smaller chained fuel such as methanol or ethanol there will be more complete combustion and less aromatic waste produced.


Why does flame can travel through air?

The Oxygen fuels the reaction in a fire, oxygen is necessary for combustion. As the reaction takes place hydrocarbons are produced. These gas particles are produced from incomplete combustion of longer chains of hydrocarbons (wood). Heat rises, so do the gas particles as they continue to react (burn). Combusion is considered complete when the hydrocarbon bonds are all broken producing water (hydrogen/oxygen) and carbon dioxide (carbon/oxygen).


What is a result of combustion?

Combustion of metals forms metal oxides. Combustion of hydrocarbons, like methane, forms carbon dioxide and water.


How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?

No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.


The two by-products of complete combustion are?

In all combustion reactions (other than H2 with O2) CO2(g) and H2O(g) will be produced. CO would NOT be produced, as we are talking about COMPLETE combustion. Why can't the products be in a form of an oxide and a compound gas?


Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?

Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.


What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the complete combustion of 5.50 grams of hexane?

16.9


What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 8.80103g of methane?

The answer is 24,15 g.


What products are produced in a complete combustion of natural gas?

3CO2+8N2+4H2O+heat


What is formed when hydrocarbon is burnt?

If a hydrocarbon is completely burned, the products are water vapor and carbon dioxide. Various partial combustion products are often produced, however. These include carbon monoxide, smoke, and sometimes other forms of hydrocarbons.


Which gas is produced during the incomplete combustion of coal?

carbon monoxide. CO is a product resulting as the definition of incomplete combustion. complete combustion yields carbon dioxide, CO2.


When is flame produced?

A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.
