Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.
Is the burning of petrol in cars an example of complete combustion or incomplete combustion Explain?
Ideally, complete combustion. In practice it isn't always, which is why cars have catalytic converters.
Is C3H7OH polor?
Yes
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
When the equation for the complete combustion of one mole of C3H7OH is blanced the coefficient for oxygen is?
The balanced equation for the complete combustion reaction is 2 C3H7OH + 9 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 4 H2O; therefore, the coefficient for oxygen is 9. If fractional coefficients are allowed, the equation can be written with only one mole of C3H7OH; in that instance the coefficient for oxygen would be 9/2.
Balanced equation for complete and incomplete combustion of propanol?
Complete combustion : 2C3H8O + 9O2 --> 6CO2 + 8H2O Incomplete combustion : C3H8O + 3O2 --> 3CO + 4H2O
What is the condensed formula of Propanol?
C3H7OH C3H7OH
Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
Is C3H7OH soluble in water?
yes, water and C3H7OH are both polar

What are the products of combustion of a marshmallow?
If the combustion is complete, carbon dioxide and water.
What does the complete combustion of coal produce?
The complete combustion of organic compounds produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and a residue of any impurities which were present in the coal before combustion. Complete combustion requires a great surplus of molecular Oxygen to occur.
Is C3H7OH polor?
Yes
Why does complete combustion release more energy than incomplete combustion?
in complete combustion the amount of oxygen is higher/more than the amount of oxygen in incomplete combustion. Heat needs oxygen.
What does combustion form?
The resulting products of the complete combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
