What is the equation for carbon plus carbon dioxide - carbon monoxide?

Have you ever read about the tragic accidents that sometimes happen due to the fumes from gas heaters? If the flue is blocked and the fumes can't escape, toxic carbon monoxide builds up in the room and can easily kill. Carbon monoxide is produced because, in the limited space inside a gas heater (or a car engine), there is not enough oxygen to completely oxidize the hydrocarbon fuels.It is called incomplete combustion. As well as carbon dioxide and water, carbon monoxide (CO) is formed as the hydrocarbon burns.(http://www.patana.ac.th/parents/curriculum/Chemistry/units/LR1401.html)(hydrocarbon) + O2 = CO + H2O... then balance this equation with your hydrocarbonhope this has helped you :)Have you ever read about the tragic accidents that sometimes happen due to the fumes from gas heaters?

Why hydrocarbons are combustible?

Because hydrogen would rather be part of water than part of a hydrocarbon, and carbon would rather be part of carbon dioxide than part of a hydrocarbon. When given sufficient opportunity (enough oxygen to completely react with the molecules in the hydrocarbon, and enough heat to initiate the reaction), the reaction converting the hydrocarbon into (CO2)x + (H2O)x (the x meaning without knowing the hydrocarbon in question we don't know how many CO2 and H2O molecules we'll get) will happen.
