What are the main products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
The main products of an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels are still going to be carbon dioxide and water. There will also be some carbon monoxide and a lot of polycyclical aromatic compounds.
What is the process of burning fuels?
Combustion
Products of incomplete combustion?
Carbon, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Water C + CO + CO2 + H2O
Why is it better to burn fuels in a good supply of oxygen?
If you have a good supply of oxygen you get a more complete burn, which means you get more energy out of the fuel and there are fewer products of incomplete combustion, which are often toxic
What is it called when fossil fuels are burned and turned into co2?
Combustion.
What are the main products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
The main products of an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels are still going to be carbon dioxide and water. There will also be some carbon monoxide and a lot of polycyclical aromatic compounds.
The primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels are?
The primary products of the complete combustion of fossil fuels is: CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER.=)
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
What determines whether hydrocarbon fuels undergo complete or incomplete combustion?
if it is on fire or in a pool with lots of fish eating marshmellows
What problems has crude oil caused?
Fossil fuels Pollution CO2 Global warming Incomplete combustion Non-renewable non-sustainable
Is CO a gas?
Yes. CO is the poisonous gas carbon monoxide.At STP and in all environmental conditions, it is a gas.It is created by the incomplete combustion of some fuels, and can prevent oxygen from entering the bloodstream by binding with the hemoglobin. In moderate to high concentrations in the air, it can be seriously harmful or fatal.
What is the process of burning fuels?

How are the incomplete and complete combustion reactions different?
In complete combustion, all the reactants will be converted into carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, some of the reactants will be converted to carbon dioxide, some will become carbon monoxide, and some may not react at all. Quite often incomplete combustion will result in a "sooty" flame.
What is carbon monoxide and how is it harmful to drivers?
it harms the blood stream and takes away blood from the bodies cells.ANS2:Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It is produced from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. A driver in a car with a faulty exhaust system is likely to be exposed to carbon monoxide. It will cause unconsciousness and death.
What two products are formed when burning a fuel?
Products formed when fossil fuels are burnt are: 1. Carbon dioxide (for complete combustion) 2. Carbon Monoxide (for incomplete combustion) 3. Water. Hope this helped :)
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels.?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
