Best Answer

The burning of hydrocarbons causes the formation of water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Often, other byproducts such as formaldehyde (HCOH) and carbon monoxide (CO) are formed due to non-stoechiometric conditions.

What are the properties of hydrocarbon?

Some of the physical properties of hydrocarbons include the fact that hydrocarbons are non-reactive and are soluble in water. Hydrocarbons are able to burn over a flame and will produce water and carbon dioxide when reacting with oxygen. Most hydrocarbons are less dense than water and are able to float on water. Hydrocarbons are non-polar and will react with bromine and potassium under certain circumstances.


What is all fossil fuels made of?

Fossil fuels are made up of compounds called hydrocarbons. Fossil fuels are fuels that come from natural resources, such as dead organisms.


What is produced when hydrocarbon fuels burn inside an engine?

Carbon dioxide and water vapour are produced when hydrocarbons are burned in plenty of air.


What is produced when chlorine reacts with hexane in ultraviolet light?

There are several products of the reaction because photochemical halogenation of hydrocarbons is a chain reaction, products include mono chloro hexane to tetradeca chloro hexane


Does Ozone make smog?

Wrong way around. Tropospheric (ground level) ozone is a component of photochemical smog. It is made by the interaction of ultraviolet light, volatile hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Other products of this reaction include polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Stratospheric ozone (hig level) is made by the interaction of oxygen atoms and ultraviolet light. The two locations only interact when stratospheric ozone is downwashed by the jet stream passing over high mountain into the troposphere.
