Yes.
What can be done to reduce the release of hydrocarbons?
== == I'm assuming you're referring to the release of hydrocarbons from a combustion reaction (ie, a car engine). In order to prevent the release of hydrocarbons from a reaction like this and maximize efficiency, you should first understand the chemical equation of this reaction. Balanced Equation for the Combustion of Octane (hydrocarbon in gasoline): 1 Octane + 11 Oxygens --(reacts to form)--> 6 Waters + 8 Carbon Dioxides C8H12 + 11O2 ----> 6H2O + 8CO2 (Note, Oxygen is diatomic in its standard state, O2) So, in order to completely burn one molecule of Octane, we need 11 O2 molecules. In other words, the correct mix for the complete combustion of Octane is 11:1. Applying this to our cars, in order to reduce the release of hydrocarbons, the best thing we can do is ensure that our fuel to air mixtures are correct. If the emissions report on your car says you're releasing too many hydrocarbons, get the computer tuned or get a new fuel injector (or clean the carburetor) to make sure the mixture is correct. Stop burning fossil fuel and/or use catalytic converters to convert them into water.
What causes a gas flame to turn orange?
The reason as to why a gas flame would be an orange colour would be from an incomplete combustion reaction. This occurs when paper is burned; the paper is reacting with the oxygen in the air, and it producing CO2, Carbon (ash), CO and H2O. This reaction can be represented in a chemcial equation; CH3 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + CO + C .
Which instrument should be used to test for combustion knock?

What atom should be balanced last when balancing hydrocarbon combustion?
The oxygen atoms
How should the combustion reaction C5H8 O2 CO2 H2O be balanced?
Answer this question… C5H8 + 7O2 5CO2 + 4H2O
How should the combustion reaction C5H8 plus O2 CO2 plus H2O be balanced?
C5h8 + 7o2 -> 5co2 + 4h2o
How should the combustion reaction c5h8 plus 02 co2 plus h2o be balanced?
C5h8 + 7o2 --> 5co2 + 4h2o
Which atom should be balanced last when balancing hydrocarbon combustuion reactions?
Oxygen is often the "problem child" of balancing, so do oxygen last. In combustion reactions, it's usually easiest to do carbon first, then hydrogen, then oxygen.
Why should a burning hydrocarbon fuel be given a good supply of air?
To insure complete clean combustion.
What should be balanced in a chemical reaction?
Everything that is unbalanced...
Should net charge be balanced on both sides of the reaction arrow?
Yes.
Balanced equation for combustion of methane?
3 CH4 + 5 O2 ----> 2 CO + CO2 + 6H2OThe reaction generates quantities of carbon monoxide along with carbon dioxide and water.
What products would be formed if glycerol were allowed to burn?
The products of any combustion reaction should simply be carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and liquid water (H2O). This applies to the combustion of glycerol.
