hydrocarbons have only carbon and hydrogen , on complete combustion they react with oxygen of air and form only CO2 and H2O molecules...

What is the equation for complete combustion of fossil fuels?

The general equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel such as fossil fuels is: hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water For example, the complete combustion of methane (CH4) would be: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.


Why should a burning hydrocarbon fuel be given a good supply of air?

To insure complete clean combustion.


What is the balanced symbol equation for fuel?

The balanced symbol equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel like octane (C8H18) is: C8H18 + 12.5O2 -> 8CO2 + 9H2O


What is the reactant of a complete combustion?

Oxygen + organic molecule -------> carbon dioxide + water


What are the elements needed in the combustion reaction?

You need oxygen (O2) and some source of fuel. That source of fuel is usually, but not always, a hydrocarbon. For example the combustion of propane would be CH3CH2CH3 + O2 =>3CO2 + 4H2O.The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon will always result in CO2 and H2O.


Substance may be produced when hydrocarbon fuel burns in plenty of air?

When hydrocarbon fuel burns in plenty of air, complete combustion occurs, producing carbon dioxide and water as the main substances. Incomplete combustion due to limited air can produce carbon monoxide, soot, and other harmful byproducts along with carbon dioxide and water. The specific substances produced depend on the type of hydrocarbon fuel and the combustion conditions.


What two reactants are necessary in order for a hydrocarbon combustion reaction to take place?

Hydrocarbon and fuel


What is fuel reacting wuith combustion?

fuel and combustion makes a type of gas


What are the patterns of combustion reaction?

Combustion reactions involve a fuel (hydrocarbon) reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The general pattern is: fuel + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water. Combustion reactions are exothermic, releasing heat and light energy.


What substance's complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water?

candle wax. The wax is a hydrocarbon (hydrogen+carbon) and as it burns, it rects with oxygen and hydrogen in the air. Hydrogen+hydrogen+oxygen=H2O (water) Carbon+oxygen+oxygen=CO2 (carbon dioxide) Other hydrocarbons include petrol, diesel, oil, propane etc


Hydrocarbon and oxygen equals?

Nothing unless you have something to ignite the fuel. The oxygen makes a fire when combine with an ignition.* The fuel keeps a fire going, when the fuel discinigrates, then there is no more fire. *Usually an ignition is a spark.


What is reactants and products of complete combustion?

reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
